Since you have so many, they will be constantly doing this...They will constantly come to the surface for a breathe of air and are fun to watch....If your worried about them cleaning the bottom of your tank, Dont....They will keep it all clean for you..Good Luck with your Cories !!

They are very active & also keep the bottom of the tank spotless. :88) http://www.flickr.com/photos/corydoras/ Member of the Malta Aquarist Society - 1970. http://www.maltaaquarist.com

I think it's just the species though... They are very tame and have a lot more personality than most other species I've kept. I'm not your neighbor, you Bakersfield trash.
