Hi
I recently bought two Emerald Green Corys to add to my 20 gallon tank, and I have three questions about them.
1. What is/are their common name? I can't seem to find their listing in the species profile of this website.
2. Is it normal for them to play dead? One of my corys is lying on the bottom of the tank (sometimes belly-up), but whenever I think that it's dead and goes to remove it, he goes right back to swimming. Also, I've noticed that whenever I leave for a while and then come back, the fish has already changed spots again - so it's obviously moving.
3. What do they eat? I bought this pellet bottle that is labelled for bottom-feeders and invertebrates, but the pellets are around half a centimeter in diameter and my corys don't eat them (or for that matter, anything).
Thanks
