depnds how big they are, if they're small i feed them like 1 and a half meat wafer crushed.

also a beginner on cories though :)
 
Thats ok so im feeding them plenty with 1 1/2 sinking wafer each night, i only have them 2 weeks but they seem to be very happy and lively corys im really enjoying them they love swimmig up and down the glass and my armageddon betta doesnt pass any heed to them at all now so all get along well, long may it last

nice! a little tip if they dont move around that much, feed them 1/2 of a wafer, i THINK it means they are hungry or have nothing to do. its fun to watch them gobbling up sand lol
 
Mine go mad for prawns strangely, I feed my tank prawn every other day but it very rarely reaches the sand so when it does they go crazy,
what kinds of prawn? like cooked prawns? or prawn wafers or mini prawns chopped up

Most fish can eat prawn, however don't feed it to vegetarian fishes like Tropheus.

Either use cooked or raw prawn. If you have live shrimp in the tank, then use cooked prawn so they don't transmit any diseases into the water.

Remove the head & shell and throw these bits away. Remove the gut (thin black tube in middle) and throw that away.

Use a pair of scissors and cut the remaining prawn tail into small pieces and offer a few bits at a time to the fish. Feed until the fish are full.

Don't use raw prawn that is white or cream because it has a microsporidian infection and can be transmitted for fish and shrimp in the tank.
 
Super super late to this one and it's probably been said already but my corys (bronze + albino) will eat algae wafers and catfish pellets.
I put in two wafers every other morning and drop a pinch of the pellets in most nights for my "funny fellows" (kuhli loaches mostly) and the corys happily eat that.
