| They tend to like a little current, maybe the water is better oxygenated there

| Every once in a while, one of my Peppered Corys will go over to the bubble wand and just float up to the top with the bubbles, swim down and do it again and again.
No idea why he does it, but it is fun to watch........  |

| My panda cories do this too. Sometimes it's their whole body or they'll just stick their tail fin in and sit there. I think it's like a spa treatment for them. |
