This is my 10 gal tank:
Filter: Aquaclear 20
Heating: Tronic 50 watt
Lighting: Triton 18 watt
CO2: DIY
Decor: 1 piece of driftwood
2 honeycomb rocks
Plants: Rotala Indica
Moneywort
Wisteria
Fish: 8 Pygmy Corydoras
1 Guppy (accidentally caught with the shrimp)
4 guppy fry (the accidental guppy was pregnant)
Inverts: 3 Cherry Fire Shrimp
1 Vampire Srimp
My question is that my tank has been running for about a month now and the cories are not very active and always hiding and I was wondering what was wrong? I had heard that pygmy cories were very active and friendly but mine don't seem to be. All water levels are fine and they are fed well and have no loss in color (their stripe very bold) and look healthy. There are about 4 that will play around every once in a while but I rarely see all of them out at once. I did loose one about in the first week but other than that everyone in the tank is healthy and growing (guppy and fry growing by the day and each shrimp has molted at least once) so I don't think there is something wrong with the water. Could they be depressed because of the death? If so how long will it last? Any suggestions would help.
