thank you, It's just everywhere I read it says seperate them for a week, but I guess you don't have to.

Not all of them get up to 3 in.

Again, not all will, but that is the maximum size for almost all corys

Have just become the keeper of two Julli Corys, who are currently the only inhabitants of my 65l tank (it was cycled by some Danios who have now gone to live elsewhere and because I ahve heard that Bio-Orbs and Corys don't go I have put them in this tank to Q before I introduce my existing stock from the Bio-orb.)
Anyway, it seems that whatever food I have put in they don't seem to eat it, as most of the packets seem to say take out any food not consumed in 2 mins (or 20 mins for algae wafers)
As its a relatively new set up (12 wks) I'm probably being a bit paranoid about waste, but am more used of fish going gung ho when dinner is served!
They are very active up and down the glass of the tank and shuffling around my plants so look healthy enough, my water stats are NO2-0 NO3-0, pH 6.7 temp 24.
Any advice gratefully received

my corys also enjoy eating butternut squash

Do you cook it first or give it to them raw?

Raw just remove the shin and drop it in they love it
