Hey,
My corys behaviour has changed the past couple of days, I don't know if they dislike each other now or if they are playing.
Anyway, I have 3 peppered and two bronze in sand substrate 300L.
The bronze are a couple who spawn regularly.... the trio I think are all males have been chasing and landing on top of each other's faces fanning and waving their fins on the cory below eyes and face!
They swim together then a chase breaks loose until one is cornered and ganged up on, the one being chased is two years older than the other two, and he seems to be the main target!
I have been trying to take a video of this happening but every time I press the red button they act so sweet natured, I did mange to get a little burst of the action but they weren't going full throttle, I will try and post it anyway.
 
... Can't up load the vid!
 
It sounds like spawning behaviour to me, corys don't fight.
Try uploading the video to YouTube, or photobucket then post the link
 
Lol, yeah that's what I thought, but they are all small and have the same body shapes that's why I think they may be male....
But I will try and upload the vid else where, thanks :)
