Cory Cats!

[ryanp15]

Hello everyone. I just bought some cory cats and I was wondering what to feed them. I have given them algea pellets but I know they need more. I know about cucumber and zucchinni is there anything else? Thanks. ;D

Tetra makes some bottom feeder pellets that mine like.  They also go after the pleco's alge disks, but they don't like them as much.

Ryan, I have never known corys to go for cucumber or zuchini.
I find they prefer meaty foods,
bloodworm,brineshrimp and the like.
You can also pre soak a few flakes of food and pop it in at the opposite end of your normal food.this way it has abetter chance of reaching the substrate before your other fish get to it. 8)

I have some brine shrimp in the freezer that I've never used. ;D I'll try that. Thanks.

My corries would  be very lucky if they got any brineshrimp.(except my one that eats at the surface)I give them tetra or wardley sinking wafers(with the catfish on front), shrimp pellets, algae disks, and occasional bloodworms(live).

Mine take in flakes.  Mine also likes Wardley Shrimp Pellets.

I got some spirulina tablets for my pleco and they seem to eat those. I am going to try the brineshrimp tonight. ;D

I have been feeding mine the wardleys shrimp pellets they seem to really like it. the one that i have in my 10 gal hex has doubled its size eating that and the little bit extra flake food that gets to the bottom in almost a month and is a very nice specmen if i do say so....nice color and all

They are doing fine now and I've been feeding them brine shrimp and some of those little shrimp pellets you metioned. They are seeming to love it. ;D

I feed my Cories shrimp pellets and they love them.

 

[Cillana]

My cories don't like those Wardley shrimp pellets. They love Hikari sinking tablets and bloodworms.

my cory's seem to like my beefheartmix that i give to the dicus. sometimes they get to the piece of of BHM first and start sucking away. i also give them a few of hikari sinking discs a week.

I feed my cories Tetra Tabimin, and sometimes when i have it i give them brine shrimp!

 

[ryanp15]

Well all of mine eat the brine shrimp now at the surface with my angelfish and female betta. One of my albinos died recently though. They really love bloodworms and brine shrimp. ;D

 

[razorblade]

Bloodworms, Shrimp Pellets, And Algae Wafers.

In addition to all of the great suggestions already given, I'd like to add that I found that my Corys seemed to enjoy Hikari Daphnia and also live Daphnia (when I could provide it). Then again, mine ate anything that reached the bottom and sometimes even came up to the top for HBH Tropical 4 Flake Frenzy.
