Ok so my 7 barbs live with some cories... And you know how cories tale breaths of air occasionally? So kine sort of spiral up very slowly, gulp and dart down - great fun.

My cherries have started copying them? Ive just watched 1 cory do it with a cherry barb following. The cory gulps and dives and then the cherry does... And then 4 of the other 6 cherries copy it! Its one after another, not gasping, and they all seem to be in a rather playful mood...

Anybody else seen anything like this before?

Ammonia 0 nitrites 0 nitrates <5 before anybody wonders :p
 
Never seen this before... Do you have a video?
 
Theyre too busy playing their favourite game of "lets spawn with the lady" but ill see if i can! My cories wont do it with me there filming but the cherries will for sure haha they do it on their own now.

Ill have a try, no promises!
