Are My Corys Getting Enough Food?

[Eloise]

I've got 4 albino cories and one that has colour (I'm not sure what kind). I've had them for over a year, but I have not noticed much increase in size. I was thinking that they might not be getting enough food... So far, I'm giving an algua pellet to my gibbiceps every other day or so and I give flakes to my severums twice a day. I figured the cories eat the left overs. Do they need a special kind of food, or simply more food? Should I give them vegetables?

I'm worried about their size because my severums and my blood parrots have grown so much and they might become able to swallow the cories eventually...

My cories are about 1 inch long each.

Corys need a balanced a varied diet everyday, not just the leftovers. I feed mine a sinking algae wafer 5 times a weeks and bloodworms and vegetables the other days. All of your fish will love you if you change up their diet, try frozen bloodworms some will get eaten by your top/mid dwelling fish and plenty will fall to the gravel for the bottom feeders, in the morning there will be no sign of any bloodworms Hope that helps.
