Cories and cabbage

[FlareBettaGuy]

Well, I feed cabbage to my betta and he loves it. And since I heard that cories were omnivores, I don't think that feeding them flakes and bloodworms every feeding is that good. Will they eat cabbage? I heard that if you rip a big chunk of cabbage and stick it on the bottom of the tank, a pleco would "graze" on it. Will the same thing work with cories? Thanks!

they prefer meaty things

Meaty. Bloodworms, then. No cabbage, then. Alright, got it.

Hi FlareBettaGuy

Corys are omnivores which means that they need a balanced diet.

They will thrive on spirulina disks or algae wafers as their vegetable matter. They also love live, frozen or freeze dried worms and will also take flake food.

I wouldn't feed them cabbage, though.
