Peppered Cory Advice

[Jim1984]

I have a 63litre tank with 4 peepered corys and 6 Danios. It has a fine substrate and live plants with plenty of places for them to hide.

Recently i have noticed one of my Corys keeps floating at the top of the tank, on his side or upside down. I came down one morning and actually thought he was dead untill i lifted the tank lid of and gently blew on him which made him swim down to the bottom. However he does keep doing this.

Is this normal behavour for a cory or is there something i should be worried about or can do to help the fish??

I had this with my peppers when i first got them,i don't think its normal behaviour,i took mine back to lfs.

Have you tried feeding them a cooked de shelled pea,if its constipated it may well help...

Or it could have a swim bladder problem.

You might be better posting this in emergency as well where wilder & co could help
