Just got 3 more Cory's last nite they looked fine at the store(was there for 4 hrs while mom was black fri shopping) and they also looked fine when I got
Home but now they are floating( only 2) like a bubble
They swim down to the bottom and then just float back up! What is wrong???

Didn't you say you we're having issues in your tank? It wasn't wise to add new fish to a fish with problems. What are your parameters? Did you acclimate the fish or did you just throw them in there?

No issues at all Params are 0-0-20. I did acclimate them. 20min floating the bag. And my lfs has the same Params as me and the same ph

Maybe they need a minute to get situated. Turn off the lights. Are they in a QT or did you add them to your main tank?

Were they in the bag for 4 hrs?

4 hours is too long to be in the bag 1 hour is like tops due to the limited 02 supply and the water and the goes bad( high ammonia and other nasties) real fast.

It was like 45 min tops. Not long at all

Didn't see a good out come from those pics. How are they now?

IMO to short term to start to act. Let them be, check on them tomorrow, don't overeact.

Did you just float them or did you add some of your tank water to the bag? I know you said your water is the same as the LFS but rarely are they identical. I would've acclimated longer & slowly added some tank water. I hope they're better today, they may just need some time.
