Funny S. corica Cool Yoyo
Posted: Tue Jan 08, 2008 9:48 pm
I have an S. corica that is behaving very strangely. Made me laugh
A backnote: I have a Leopard Danio that blew its swim bladder, I think. Happened about 2 months ago, and I expected him to die. Because he couldn't swim properly, the other fish removed one of his eyes, I put him in a floating breeder box in his tank with plants, snails and shrimp (clean up crew). I kept him clean and comfortable and fed him. I expected him to die the next day. Now two months later he is swimming better in his box, more of a problem with only one eye, and I have seen him eating. I figure if he wants to live, I should give him the chance.
Tonight I dropped in a couple tubifex with the danio's regular food, and I turn around, and the S. corica is in the box with the Danio. I am not sure if he just felt like a new view (he usually hangs out between stones on the bottom --I've never seen him off the bottom) or some tubifex. I got him his own floating box (so he doesn't dismantle the danio) with plants (open on top, so he can leave if he wants), gave him some tubifex and stuck him under the flow from my filter. He looks pretty happy.
On a completely unrelated note: I picked up a lone Yoyo today to join my Yoyo posse. Instead of Yoyo, his stipes say XOXO or KOKO. He's the prettiest Yoyo I have ever seen. Almost looks like a Kubotai.
