Otto And Cory Dietry Query

[ThinIce]

Hi all

When I first purchased my Ottos about a month ago, they were great, sticking to the mopani wood and cleaning ALL and I mean ALL the Algae from the tank. However after a couple of weeks they developed a taste for the catfish pellets i've been feeding my cories.

As a consequence the Ottos jump straight on any catfish pellets not giving the cories a look in (the cories used to wait for them to break up a bit and then snaffle up the pieces) a by product of this is that no Algae is being consumed.

Is there anything I can feed the cories with that the ottos are likely to find distasteful? I'm worried the little guys aren't getting enough to eat

Hmmm, just add more pellets maybe?

Or drop some pellets at the side the ottos are, and some where the corys are.
Other than that i duno

This merely causes the Ottos to swell They've also developed the habit of spacing themselves out around the tank believe it or not, so its difficult to feed the cories surreptitiously
