Floating Pepper Cory

[FishyJames]

Im 99% sure this isnt normal behavior.

One of my peppers floats in the corner of the tank, right under the water level,
when i go to see if he's still alive, he swims back down to the bottom, forages for a bit, then goes right back to the spot.

has anyone else's cory ever done this?

Well come home and he's back to his normal behavior today

so i guess problem averted

My cories don't do that but they love swimming to the top and going round their but the other fish chasse them back down lol. Maybe he just likes it.

my cories did the exact same thing, so i moved them into a larger tank and they instantly got better. i guess it's a shock thing.
