Cory Feeding Help

[fish-rookie]

I have a 180L tank (two months mature) and I have a question about feeding my Corys.

I have six Corys in total as well as one twig catfish and a banjo. The problem is that no matter how I try to feed them, the mid/top level dwellers (24 assorted tetras and 6 swordtails) eat everything. I feed the other fish on pellets and realised the corys weren't getting a look in. So I've started adding sinking wafers designed especially for bottom dwellers but the other fish eat them as soon as they've finished with the pellets.

Any suggestions? Will they be alright on the remnants etc.?

tertratabimin is a good food for coyrs. try popping them in last thing at night when the lights go out so the other cant see them sinking. either that or try fool the other fish by feeding them at one end of the tank and dropping the cory food in the other end

I use Spooky's technique by feeding all the fish in one corner and dropping the sinkers in another. It works well. Don't worry too much about them getting food unless you can tell they look thin. It's much harder to kill a fish by underfeeding than overfeeding.

The mid/top levels have been trained to feed in one corner and I slip the sinking wafers in at the other corner where the main plants/shelter are. Unfortunately the other fish just eat there's and go looking for everything else!

As you said though, they still look healthy so I'll just keep an eye on them.

Thanks people!
