My cories are acting sooo weird!

[ILOVEBETTAS]

Okay, here's the list of weird-i-osities:

1. One peppered cory went into a plant and sat in it with its head pointing upwards. I thought it was dead, but it was perfectly fine.
2. My albino cories and panda cory like to eat upside down, like an upside-down catfish. They sometimes hunt for food upside-down also.
3. They sometimes group together and just lay there against eachother... sometimes nearly on their sides

My temp is normal, my fish aren't sick... everything's normal...

Do you just thing I have a weird group of cories?

Uh, not sure about the upsidedownness, but 1 and 3 sound fine to me. In fact 3 is exactly what they should be doing.

Yeah, most of that is normal cory behavior. They can be quite odd but it is usually pretty funny to watch their antics...

 

[ILOVEBETTAS]

Thanks... i didn't know they would normally do that.

my schwartz's are always all over the plants and decor looking for little scraps of food and sometimes even algea

Oh my gosh... now they're standing on heads and tails for fun! Do you call that normal?

 

[blackwolfXKAV]

yep. mine like to contort themselves in the java moss and sit motionles against the glass UNTIL i come over and check on them to see if they are alright!

2 or 3 of my peppers seem to like foraging upside down on the backsides of leaves and such.

Hi,

Aslong as your Cories look healthy and happy, everything is just fine. Cories can be a bit weird sometimes
