Do your corydoras lay around in weird spots?

Question

I have two small bronze corys and sometimes they worry me because they lay around in odd areas of my tank. I've caught them resting on the leaves of my plants several times. Now their favorite thing to do is squeeze themselves between my heater and the aquarium glass, lodging themselves in. I shake them loose with my net and they scurry off, but within minutes they go right back to it. My filter is running fine and the heater is working properly so I don't think there is anything wrong with the water. I just want to know if anyone else notices the weird things their fish do. Thanks

Answer 1

Yes!!!!! I have 3 bronze corydoras and 2 peppered, the bronze love resting on my plants, plus hangout between the glass and airbubbler by wedging themselves in. On the other hand, my peppered girls seem to love to hangout where my plastic plants base are, the wedge themselves between the plastic base, gravel, and plants. I think it is just a wierd corydoras thing. My water is fine to and the heater and everything is working, just like yours!!!!! =)

Answer 2

My son has 3 bronze Cory's in his tank and they all head for odd spots. One has a liking for the large pleco and rests on its head! It looks really odd.

Answer 3

That's corys for you. I have seen them do just this kind of thing all the time. Kind of weird, but normal for corys.

Answer 4

yup, pretty normal. you might have the light on too long tho... they might be hiding from it. usually about 5-6 hours of light a day is plenty.... good luck!!!!
