Anyone else have problems with wild caught cories? Seems like every time I get one it doesn't do well and is too nervous to be comfortable. The tank raised just go about their business. 

I’ve bought two different species of wild Corydoras from Aquarium Coop. The Pandas were shy at first then perked up. The Pygmy were outgoing at first then became shy after a few months.

I think the shy bit is partly due to species and not being wild. I've had both tank raised and wild pygmy and they seem to always end up on the shy side. The only time they sat in front in the open was when the kribs kept everyone else away. All my sterbai are shy and i believe they are mostly tank raised. Anyway @Nakattack i would look for a more out going species like eques as oppose to wild vs tank raised.
