Should i be Worried?

[Glostik]

Lately my cories dont seem to move.

They just sit under the driftwood, only time i ever see any activity is when food hits the ground.

Should i be worried?

They used to play alot and swim around and now they just sit there like logs.


-Thanks

have you done anything to the tank recently? Big water changes and such?
Have you tested your water params?

No do not be worried, Corys are prodomentally nocturnal and tend to be more active around dusk and night time, my Corys have spells of acting like this. One week they do this and the next they are always out. As long as they are eating I wouldn't worry.

Hi Glostik

Have you been keeping up with regular water changes and bottom cleanings? It's important to do this so that your corys will be healthy. Keep an eye on them to be sure they are not developing any fin rot or bacterial infections.

Other than that, do they tend to be more active in the evenings, or when the lights are turned off? What is the temperature of your tank?

Turn your tank light off for a while and make sure the room your corys are in is dark. Like ryan said they are nocturnal, so don't be worried yet. However, if they keep acting like that, be worried.
