Whats The Best Food For Corys?

[mattlee]

i have tried several types with my fish but cant seem to find a type that my corys really go mad for.... i feed daily, once a day only with tetramin flake and have tried the following as treats and to vary the diet -


- frozen bloodworms, daphnia
- freeze dried tubiflex, brine shrimp
- pellets bloodworm, green lipped mussel, shrimp
- tetra tabimin tablets

non of the above are real big hits with my corys although all my other fish seen to go mad for 1 or more of the above especially the tubiflex and frozen bloodworms. what do your corys really go for?

Mine go mad on live bloodworm and brine shrimp. they love frozen bloodworm and brine shrimp, but also get fed on tetra pro flake, sinking catfish pellets and tetra prima. i have heard they eat cucumber, but have yet to try this.

Heres a link to someone else who asked the same questions, hope this helps

mine if they get chance from the platies love sinking algae wafers, fast sinking pellets,bloodworm,flakes,brineshrimp etc.
I have bought a tank divider and will put it in when i give my corys treats otherwise they won't get a look in with the tetras and platies!!

My Cories go crazy over Frozen Daphnia.

Corys, like most tropical fish require a varied diet, whether the "go crazy" for it or not. If you only feed them what they love, you are not doing right by your fish. My dog hates kibble. She goes crazy over smoked ham-hocks. She gets kibble, every day and ham hocks every few days. She's in perfect health. If she was eating ham hocks, every day - she'd be seeing the vet on a regular basis and I'd being a lousy dog-person. lol. - Frank
