4 cories but 1 is usually by himself

4 cories but 1 left solo

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I have 4 false Julii in my 10g. 3 always play together and rest together but 1 is usually solo(He/She does play and eat with them SOMETIMES). Would a 5th cory help anything? Is the solo cory just his/her personality? This solo cory doesn't seem sick just a loner.

I've never had cories so I am not sure if this happens sometimes.

Thanks!

This happens. Adding 5th. might help, they are social animals. Generally speaking of Corydoras; the more the merrier...this goes for many species anyway.
