I love corys, no matter what kind, but my albino's are the only ones I have that are constantly swimming and in motion. Mine are in with my blood parrots and they are swimming all over the place all day long.

corys are awesome fish! i have 2 albinos and 5 pandas and they are the cutest things... until they dug up my newly planted HC... not so great - they are diggers so make sure you plant everything deep! (if you have a planted tank)

the four of them arent schooling together and nicely as i had first thought i guess its only been 24 hours prob still settling down would adding more make them school better or should they school nicely anyway with 4?

oh wow - my corys are fine with excel and CO2 injection. infact all my fish are fine with that. and i've overdosed on co2 before to kick start my plants and keep algae at bay.

waack - my cories rarely school. occassionally i see two of them playing around together (chasing each other up the side of the tank for a good hour). they only sleep together, when they are awake they're all at different ends of the tank digging up my plants and finding food.
