Albino Corydoras

[The Taffy Apple]

Afternoon all, hope this thread finds you all well.

Ok, so i added my 3 Albino Corys into my 110L tank 2 days ago. All water parameters are as expected.
I took a little time to research these little fellas before i purchased them and was a little surprised to learn that they can suffer from malnutrition, i'm presuming the vast majority of any sinking pellets and/or flake food gets eaten by the other fish (and believe me, my Goldfinch Tetra are gutsy little sods!), therefore not really leaving alot for my Corys.

The tank had their feed about an hour ago, but what i tried was this--> I put 2 of my 'stick-on' tablets to the same side of the tank with the hope of distracting the other fish, then popped in half a dozen or so of my sinking shrimp pellets in the hope my Corys would find them. Unfortunately, BOOM...in went my female Dwarf Gourami and ate the lot!

So...does anyone have any useful hints/tips/tricks in ensuring my Corys get the nutrition they need?
Any help highly appreciated.

Terry.

Feed the fish just before lights out and the Corys after lights out..? Train the Corys to come for food in a certain place in the aquarium, train the rest of the fish to go to the other end of the aquarium for their food?

i shall give that one a go... although, upon watching them earlier, they seemed quite happy to get 'stuck in' with the rest of the fish by swimming up and eating the stick on tablets... cheers KK, appreciated.
