Feeding My Corys....

[Dave Spencer]

Is there anything I can feed my C. Paleatus that my Amano shrimp will not run off with? My shrimp seem so much cleverer than my Corys when it comes to feeeding time, and just clear off with the food when they should be eating algae.

Cheers, Dave.

That's the unfortunate thing with Amano Shrimp. Ours are the same, stealing food from all the fish, no matter which fish they are. I just put a bit extra, so when the Amano shrimp come and steal the food, the cories still have some left.

We did get some SAE's a while back. They take NO nonsense from the shrimp. They normally go after them and retrieve the food, sending sprays of pellet all over the tank. Which pleases the tetras and other mid swimmers.

I have tried all types of food, and there is NOTHING they won't eat.

Keep well
