It's hard to tell if it's environmental stress or learned behaviour. I've had active swimming pygmies copy newly added skittish cpds resulting in everyone hiding in the corner. One runs, they all run. I'd start with eliminating lighting and shadow variables though. Block out three sides, dark room with just the tank light on, etc. see if they are more active.

Anecdotally, my first group of pygmy cories split up along sex, with 5 females always swimming and resting together. The lone male was always solo and hiding.

Are there any Gluteraldehyde immune/resistant mosses? Having issues with my riccia and marimos melting when dosing.

I currently have 100~ least kili with a group of 12 pygmies in a 36 gallon heavily planted and have had dozens of cpds with pygmies before. The Cory's rarely came out and actively swam in either tank. They still loaf around on stuff but not I'm not sure I buy the dither fish thing with that species any more.

Should be more than enough. My aco light goes though 1 layer of poly and 15 inches of water. Still have algae problems @ 30% strength.

I've always suspected that pet stores know what theyre doing. New fish in, fish death, repeat, will eventually cycle a tank.

I have in a sunroom before. Huge algae problems. Would not recommend unless there was significant shade and floating plants.

You can set individual timers based on different days of the week.

Is there a site with more specific info for species with ideal temps, water parameters, fertilizer needs etc?

Heterandria Formosa. Super active in all layers and small enough you could easily house 3-4 per gallon.
