My 8 year old son has been begging for some corys ever since we set up our 36 gal, so I finally took him to our LFS the begining of this week and bought three peppered corys to get us started. All seemed well on night #1 but in the morning when I woke, one was stuck to the filter intake of our AC 200. I rescued him and since I don't have a hospital tank set up, I just monitored him in a bucket of tank water for a bit. He seemed fine, so I put him back in the tank. One by one the other two also have gotten stuck (they all look slightly different, so I am able to tell them apart). The one that got stuck this morning was stuck really well...I don't know if he's going to make it. However the first cory seems to be well- is feeding and swiming all over like normal. What is going on? The corys are rather small at the moment, but a healthy fish wouldn't get stuck like that would they? I just don't understand and I am getting frustrated!
