cories acting crazy
« on: March 07, 2012, 09:02:53 AM »
Hey Gang
I have 29 gal tank set up with some plants, small Lake Vic Cichlids and about 12 albino cories bopping around.
I am used to these cats just hanging out on the bottom
These guys never stop moving
Swimming mid level and up and down this one side
They are not getting bothered by their tank mates
The diet is good with both veg and protien
Temp is good and the water is changed reg.
What could be up
Could I have dare I say happy fish?
Also what is needed to set up breeding these guys ?

A few guys who breed them have been talking about how much they have been spawning recently with the weather changes. You may have a tankful of eggs and don't know it.  ???

How would the weather changes impact them in an aquarium?

With the exception of sunlight, I would think the temperature is always the same, the water conditions should be relatively the same, etc.... regardless of the weather.

Changes in barometric pressure are what he's talking about Ron.  It's been known as a spawning trigger for Corydoras.

Thanks for clarifying. I didn't realize.  :)
