Finally!

Finally manged to get a pic of the goof ball cory!




He does tail stands, Plays dead and takes naps on his side!

Great trick, how did you teach him to do that? LOL

Its like he's trying to speak to you!

PUT him in the circus!! That is awsome!

When he starts rolling over, you can take this act on the road. LOL

He's awesome!! My girls need lessons from him how to be characters LOL

A real circus Cory. You should name him mr. Jingles

I think he is just so bored that he has figured out ways to amuse himself. He has got to be about 7 years old!
The tail standing has been in the last few months. He has developed so many quirks lately! I have almost put him in qt many many times.... I start looking at him and thinking 'ok maybe he is sick' then he swims off like all is well.

He may be getting a slight air bladder problem. The tricks tail standing and sleeping on side are signs of air bladder getting slightly larger seen in older bottom dwellers. Nothing to worry about it's just age progression of bottom dwellers. He's so cute!

90% of the time he acts like a normal cory should, That is what makes me think it is all personality. He will flap his fins till he manages to get up like that and then do a flap and balance to stay there.

He is one awesome Cory!
Are you able to try and get a video of him doing that?

Practicing for seaworld is he? Looks just like a dolphin walking on its fluke

I posted one a while back of him messing around, he never did a full tail stand though.

He stops being a goof and acts normal if I get too close......

i had one that thought he was an upsidedown catfish. i thought some thing was wrong with him. just a mixed up fish! lol cool pics

haha thats cool, mine are always swimming upside down under tha plants, and in my 29 i have an id shark and he always lays down on his side.

That's cute Fern.

Walkin' Tall!!

Hah!

RIP lil dude..... He died this morning. He was probably 6-7 years old. Got him 2 years ago from a lady that said they were 5-6 years old, so at least he was at a ripe old age......

Fern you gave him a wonderful retirement. RIP Lil Dude.

this is my 1st time seeing this post
from the pics (to me) it looks like he was goin reatrded(plz excuse me as this is what i say when i see my fish acting funny before they die)
they usually flip and lay lazily on their side anywere they land
i thought he was dying from the pics you posted..........

lol thats some funny way to swim Jill..

The tail stands were very purposeful. He would flap his front fins very precisely to do the tail stands.
He had been acting old for a while though....

maybe it was his time already, have you read about whats the lifespan for them?

^ i was just about to ask the same thing

I know it was just old age. That's about the normal lifespan for them.
