    oddball Cory behavior

    Has anyone ever seen this happen? One of my panda corys cruzes the middle of the tank all the time, rarely do I see him at the bottom with the other corys. I find it funny to watch and was just wondering if anyone has had this happen. Share your stories of odd cory behavior!
