Feeding

[qwikimpss]

I have never had luck with corys in the past. I believe it's most likely because they weren't getting enough food as I tried keeping them with tetras, barbs and danios as tankmates. Even if I fed them sinking pellets, wafers or putting some bloodworms on the substrate their tankmates would greedily gobble it up.

I'm going to try them again in a 29 gallon with a sand substrate and some Honey Dwarf Gouramis (Colisa Chuna) as tankmates.

What is the best way to feed corys that have tankmates in a way so they get plenty to eat?

Feed the corys at night once the lights are off - they scavenge around at night and will find any food thats about.

If some of your fish are not getting enough food, try increasing the total amount you are feeding them. Gradually increase it until you are confident all the fish have been satisfied. Just make sure that you do not overfeed and have uneaten food settle into the substrate.

Algae Wafers are a winner, they sink straight to the bottom and take a while to soften up. The tetras i have pretty much ignore them, the only other fish that touch them are the Bolivan Rams.

Often i sprinkle flake on the top, and pop a wafer in at the same time so all fishies are happy.
