Cory Food / Treats

[Ifti]

I have some Albino Cory's and a Betta. At the moment I give them Tropical Flake food, which they all seem to enjoy. Some at the top for the Betta, and I let some drop to the bottom for the Cory's.

I also have Tropical Pellets, which my LFS told me the Cory's tend to eat, but my Betta doesnt take to them, and the Corys will nip at them but wont eat them since the pellets seem to big, and hard to break up.

Im getting my Betta some proper Betta food for treats etc, but what can I get my Cory's?? Do they eat algae wafers etc or I have read shrimp pellets may be good for them??

Is this what I need?

Hi Ifti

I might be missing it, but I don't see the brand name of that fish food, let alone a list of the ingredients. If it's not there, don't take a chance with it. Look for a high quality flake or wafer food with a relatively high protein content. You will probably want to supplement their diet with blackworms or bloodworms.

I feed my corys various foods...incl this &/or this ,these prices are steep on ebay,i normally pay 1.95 for the sinking wafers & around £4.20 for the granules in the local lfs.Tetra also sell tetramin prima granules which are bigger than the mini granules,but average corys can handle these quite easily.
Also mine love nutrafin max.

Just a few of many i feed to my mass of corys

I like Hikari Sinking Wafers too. That's a good brand. Unfortunately, the last time I bought them I found that they had changed the size of the wafers themselves. Now they are quite a bit smaller and I don't know how many of them to use to equal one of the old ones. I'm not too happy with this change.

Glad you made that post, i feed mine exactly the same diet with the odd frozen foods thrown in. I've also discovered another Nutrafin granule thats the size of the Prima but worm based. :>

You Should give catfish wafers and feed to your cories after lights out.Catfish wafer are considered very best food/diet for Cories .
