Hey guys!
One of my Cory catfish has been acting a wee bit odd these last couple days. I donāt think itās anything to worry about, but just making sure.
I donāt know what type of Cory catfish he is, and heās the only one of that type. This particular tank (a 29 gallon) was set up before I knew that different colors of Cory catfish were actually entirely different species. So this tank has about 7 Cory catfish but theyāre all different types. They all snuggle with each other at night in the back right corner of the tank so I figured they like each other at least a wee bit. The one Iām asking about is named Ziggy and heās got a bent spine, but Iāve had all 7 of the cories in here for over a year and this is the the first time Iām seeing the behavior.
Anyway: the behavior is just that heās treading water. Like. Heās spending a lot of time just swimming in place in the middle of the tank, most of the time staring out of the glass but not always. My cories sometimes swim slowly across the tank and but never the dead stop swimming in place, I didnāt even know that was possible.
Like. Heās just chilling there. Wiggling but not actually swimming anywhere. He looks perfectly fine, so thereās no weird white spots, ripped fins, bumps, inability to swim upright, etc. just the behavior.
