In my old 30 litre tank, I had 7 pygmy cories.
I first bought 4, and they swam around everywhere and were great. Then I went back to the shop and bought the rest (only 3 more) and once I put them in, the fish stopped swimming and sat in the furthest corner all the time.
They were in there for a couple months, now my bigger tank is ready (90l). Slowly stocking the tank, I put 4 pygmies in there last week, and they swam around heaps again - swimming in with the Rasboras and Pandas I have in there. Today I added in the other 3, and now they're not swimming as much... sitting in the back corner again!
Im hoping they will start swimming once they get used to the tank and stop stressing from the move, but I am worried they will get all shy again!
Does anyone have any experience with this and any tips how to fix it?
The tank has 8 harlequin rasboras, 7 pygmy corys and 4 panda corys in it. All parameters were good today when I tested it, water is 24 degrees.
