Hi
Originally I had 5 Serpae in with 6 three striped Cory and all was fine.
I then rehomed 2 random Cory and all seemed good.
Then I lost 2 Serpae due to velvet so I restocked to 7 Serpae in total to prevent aggression.
Over the last 48 hours I have barely seen my Cory and they are sticking close to the cover of wood and plants.
Is it likely to be due to the Serpae? Would adding a few more Serpae help or should I rehome them?
Thanks
Matt

What are the "random" corys?
Unless the serpae have been pecking at them at feeding time, they should still be ok........

[/quote]I was told that they were a Delphax and a spotted. The Delphax could be correct but not the Spotted as per my other thread. However the two newcomers are in with 6 three striped Cory.

New additions do tend to hide at first unless it's a large group at once. That may affect the ones that are already there, especially if there are other changes as well.
Give it a couple of weeks and see what happens.
