Albino Cory behaving strangely

[Never2Bknown]

For a while, I've had just two albino cories in my tank, but I recently added a third so as to complete the trio. However, the newbie won't school with the other two, and he spends a lot of his time swimming around a couple inches above the bottom (swim bladder problems?). I'm getting kind of worried about him; I don't know what might be the problem.

Any ideas?

Hi Never2Bknown

How is your cory now?

It's not unusual for a cory to be upset by the change of tanks and take a little while to adjust, although usually they do welcome a chance to make new friends.

If the fish has been injured during transit, or while being netted, and developed a swim bladder problem as a result, it is usually characterized by spinning and loss of control. If yours is only swimming above the bottom, it's nothing to worry about unless there are other symptoms as well.
