they look like mosquito larve. am i wrong about this?and you cory cats will eat frozen blood worms and brine shrimp. they dont have to be fresh, and also they will eat catfish pellets and the old fashion flake food. it doesnt have to be live.

if they are mosquito larvae, dont feed them to your fish if there are wild ducks using your pond. often the mosquitos/ larvae will contain bad dieses that will kill your fish.

There is no ducks using our pond.. its just a round 11000 6ft deep gallon pond with a built up wall around it and i found the wiggly things in the back of the filter where theres all rocks and stuff.

No, i dont think your corys will eat the larve, or anything that have to catch for that matter. Best to stick with flakes and pellets. They do like frozen blood worms though.

always a bad idea to feed your fish unkown things especially from outside
