Pygmy Cory Catswhat Do They Eat?

[snowflake311]

I have 8 cory cats and they are so cute. But what do I feed them. I just feed the tank flakes and hope they get some. what do you guys feed them?

i feed mine whatever my fish eat (flakes, pellets, live brine, frozen ect.) and sometimes algae wafers.

The ones in my livebearer tank get zuchinni and shelled peas. It's too big for the other fish to take, but the corys rasp away at them.

pellets (shrimp,catfish,bloodworm) and any flake/frozen food that hits that hits the bottom

Ok they are not picky just so small it's hard to tell they are eatting. I will try the peas. I did see one eat a bit of algea.

there size worried me at first to but after a while pellets usually crumble up so thats when mine eat it

I fed then frozen baby brine shrimp and they when crazy for them. I think I will try and grow my own brine shrimp for them.

They are happy I added more plants some floating. They are more active now because I have more cover for them. I love these little fish. My 2yr daughter and I call them the tiny fish.

quite rewarding. baby fish will grow twice as fast, and color will flourish. not even to mention nutritional value.

Mine eat most food,even tackling the bigger corys for mini sinking wafers ,they thrive on defrosted bbs and mini granules seem to be their favourites
