Fish Crazy
Hi there. I am new to this forum and this is my first posting.
I've been doing a lot of reading before I got into freshwater aquariums but I lack some real life practical knowledge.
I have a 55 gallon setup, I am still in the process of cycling I believe (but that deserves a separate post). I have 12 tiger barbs and 3 melanistius cory catfish.
I gues my first question is what is the best way to feed my cory cats? They are so cute and I do want to make sure their diet is supplmented with more then just scraps, or leftover food. I bought shrimp pellets and wafers designed jsut for bottom feeders and catfish. Often, the tiger barbs get to the food before the catfish. There have been times where I have even dropped a wafer or pellet right near the catfish, but they didnt show any interest or response.
It may be best to feed them when the lights go out, and Ive tried that, but, I cant be sure they are getting their share and that the tiger barbs aren't getting to it first.
Any ideas? is there something Im doing wrong?
Thanks!
oops! I saw there is a separate forum for cory cats! I didn't see that.
