Hi There,
The other week I went and got some corys to add to my 55 gal tank. I got 6 corys, 3 were tiny baby pandas. They didn't look so good at the store, they weren't really swimming around but I got them anyway. Within a couple days, one died (he looked pretty battered up, his fins were torn up). Now, two are left but I rarely see them swimming around. The other 3 corys I got were adults (not pandas, I think juli) and are doing fine, swimming around like little monsters. But these two pandas, only every once in a while do I see one swimming around with the big guys. I'm afraid they're not getting enough to eat, I only saw one feeding yesterday but I'm not sure. Do you think they are sick? Or are they just not moving as much as an instinctual thing? They are pretty small, I'd say less than an inch.
Maybe they would do better once other fish are in there? So far there is only those 6 and a baby bristlenose pleco. I noticed that the bristlenose made herself more visible when the other fish were put in...
PS water parameters are fine, temp is at 76
