New Corys.

[Dagu]

Ive just got 3 Corydoras schwartzi (i wanted more but i found i didn't take enough dosh!) I've not kept corys for a while and these 3 have spent all their time amongst my amazon swords hardly moving. Any ideas for tempting them out and about?

If you've only just put them in the tank, give them time to get used to their surroundings, they'll probably become more confident in time. I would add a couple more when you can though, as they do enjoy to be in bigger groups than 3. Or you could breed them. I started with 2 bronze cory's, and i've currently got about 50!

Also I wonder about their tankmates and the size of the tank. If they are kept in the tank with the list of the fish in your signiture, I have doubt about compatability of some of the fish with Corys.

This moring they are now swimming about the back of the tank but havent come out from the plants once. My old corys used to be out and about within minutes of adding them so i expected them to do the same

The tank is 125l so is big enough and none of the other fish have bothered with them. I know silver sharks can intimidate smaller fish but mine is a 10cm stunted, from a neighboughs tank and have kept him with corys before with no trouble.
