How Much Food?

[ghostchoir]

I have a group of four julli corydoras, but I'm really not sure how much I should be feeding them.

I feed them catfish pellets, but I usually only give them one each morning and one each night - Is this enough for them? Even with all of them surrounding it it takes them about 30 minutes to eat one, and of course they get any food the danios and the betta didn't want!

Should I be feeding them more than this? They seem okay with it but I don't want to be accidentally starving them!

if you notice lots of left over food cut down and if you notice they are not getting any put extra in there, basically just watch them at feeding time and try and judge

I'm not sure though as they take so long to eat the one pellet! They sort of take it in turns to have it for ten minutes then wonder off and come back for it when the next cory is done eating. They spend a lot of the day looking through sand which I guess could mean they're hungry - but I figured that as catfish they'd do that anyway!
