Thanks for the advice, had thought of pestle and mortar but wanted to make sure.

I just purchased a new tub of Fluval bug bites, and the food is slightly too big for my pearl danios to be eating. How can I make the food smaller, but not too small so that it doesn't dissolve straight away? I have tried crushing them in between my fingers, but they are very hard and difficult...

The other 3 corys are eating which the 3 dead ones werent. I need a bit of advice on what to feed my ottos. I am fully aware they enjoy veg, so perhaps a little piece of cucumber. They have eaten the majority of the algae present. There is only 3 and I am planning on increasing that number to 7...

The temperature ranges between 23-24 degrees Celsius (73-75 Fahrenheit) but the fish that are acting up are remarkably thin and are not eating at all. I can do a water change today. It’s interesting that it is just the corys that are affected by this, as my cherry barbs and danios are completely...

Ok thank you very much, I'm assuming it was the cory "pellets" I gave them, and I don't recall feeding them bloodworm since I have got them. I will feed them some peas.

Ok, update for you all, lost 2 corys and another is on deaths door, he’s doing the same as the other two, lying on his side and can barely swim. I remembered I got them from a good shop but there was a dead (or dying) cory on its side so I suspect I picked up whatever the dead one had when I got...

I made the mistake a few months back of cleaning the filter under tap water, (I know, stupid) but yes I cleaned the filter yesterday with water from the tank. I should get some frozen daphnia, hopefully they will enjoy it.

Yeah I rarely feed them bloodworm (once every 3-4 weeks) but I have never fed my fish brineshrimp or daphnia so wondering how they would feel with that. Will post test results and a pic of the cory soon. Ev

Yeah I will stop feeding them that then, I only have the test strips not the test tube ones unfortunately. I have frozen bloodworm at the moment, should I feed them that?

Hey Byron, I did actually have the Fluval Bug Bites, but ran out, will definitely pick some up. I do water changes once every week, sometimes once every 9-10 days, doing a 55-60% change, and I use the Tetra conditioner that makes tap water safe for fish. I've only ever added Tetra "PlantMin"...

They are currently being fed flake, "Catfish pellets" and Shrimp Wafers, I can try and post a picture soon. All the cory's have been completely fine with that food though, so I'm not sure what it is.
