Ehh yes and no theres some that are about a month old others are weeks old
 
I have three panda Corys
If they are near the front feeding or, or just resting, I have approach tank slowly, preferably from the side.
Otherwise they will instantly swim for cover and hide when they see me

BTW, other fish do not bother them a bit.

So this sort of behavior for Corys is more or less normal. :)
