I usually feed my corys tablets every other day. When I had 2 corys, I just took one pellet, and broke it in half.
And I would consider getting a few more cories. They like to be in schools!

BT in NY... Hi! I kinda doubt the cories will get many of the flakes. I find that the only food that manages to make it to the bottom w/o the other pig-fish in my tank getting it is Wardley's Slow Sinking Crumbles. The other fish love it too, so you'll have to feed enough so that some makes it to the bottom for the cories. I've tried the wafers, but the angels and rainbows dominate that as well. The crumbles are small enough for some to drop and get into the gravel. Try it... they'll like it!!

The cories can't really get to the flakes at the bottom unless you pollute the tank.

Feed them algae tablets and frozen foods.

Your tank's pretty neew for there to be a whole lot of algae for any one to eat yet-I personally would throw in an algae wafer and some shrimp pellets by wardley for your bottom dwellers.

I feed my corries and loaches catfish pellets which sink really fast and also a plec tablet which they like too.

They shouldn't be considered as simple scavengers, bottom feeders need fed too. As will your otos when the algae is gone. They prefer algae and it is better for them but they will enjoy lettuce and the plec tablets I mentioned earlier.

I feed all my fish once every other day.

When I had cory's I used to feed them on algae waffers and frozen blood worm which used to sink to the bottom.
