    Yes, for corys it is normal. They are quite playful and are a schooling species. Ideally you need at least 4 but they won't suffer much from there just being 2 . Either the one is establishing dominance, or they're playing follow the leader. Also, if possible, try and get some riversand or something for them, the gravel isn't that great for their barbels

    Think the smaller one is chasing the bigger one??? That's mating / spawning-behaviour !! Be aware of eggs at the glass !!!
