just got myself 5 new skunk cories...
they are adult wild caught fishes.
i floated the bag in my cory tank for 1 hour . i introduced the fishes into my tank..
they were swimming at mid level... is this normal for skunks?
or are they just getting adjusted to my tank..??
 
Mine swim at mid level sometimes too - it can be exploratory or just a little freaked out like "ahh! new tank! where am i??" (esp. since they were wild caught, they're probly not too used to tanks yet) Try to keep the tank light off, and see if they settle in after a while.
