Aquarium Advice Addict
I have had three peppered cories for the last two-three months. They are in my 10g tank with my male betta and they get along just fine. The cories will mainly hang out together, but lately I have noticed an "odd man out" situation where one of them is by themselves sometimes while the other two are off doing what I think is a spawning ritual. Not sure though so if anyone here has had their peppered cories spawn let me know.....My two swim very close together and it's like one of them keeps nudging the other one with its nose and at the same time they do this their body vibrates. It is really funny and interesting to watch....if this isn't spawning type behavior, what could it be? I know the odd man out isn't out because something is wrong with him/her...they seem fine and healthy.....just too many cooks in the kitchen if you know what I mean. I really don't think my tank would be conducive to spawning. I have read that conditions have to be perfect temp wise and water change wise. I do change about 20-30% of their water once a week and the temp stays at 78 (sometimes around 79) in the tank. Any ideas?
