My Panda Cory Isn't Eating!

[Fried rice]

My panda cory isn't eating!!!!!!!! I bought two new baby panda cories a few days ago and when I got them their fins were up but now theyre down, i think they might be hungry, i have two other cories in the tank and ive never fed them anything they just eat leftover fish flakes and theyve been alive for a year, so i went and bought some cory food but they wont eat and they arent as active as they were before!

What are your water parameters? Before we suggest anything we really do need those water parameters, specifically ammonia, nitrite, nitrate and pH.

If you just got them a few days ago chances are they are still adjusting. Maybe lower the lights for a couple days. Peek in and see if they are swimming about but make everything dark. If you start to see them zooming around then there is no problem.

If they stay something is wrong.

You should really feed your corys. Living off of bottom foods is not a stable diet. You can feed them small peaces of algae wafers. I break mine apart. Zucchini, apple, cucumber, lettuce orange. So it's great you got them food.

So a few questions I have;
Do they have any small white dots on them? This is called ick.
Is your corys flashing at all; rubbing on rocks, decorations, ect.
Are they darting around the tank frantically?
What is their feces like? Brown or white and string?
Any fuzzy patches on the corys..

They seem much better since i bought the food but one still seems not perfectly healthy, i couldnt really see their poop but im pretty sure they will be alright

Pandas are very sensitive fish. Keep your water levels in check.

thats interesting the pet store said that all cories are very hardy fish.
