Corys Feeding Ok ?

[krisb60]

I added a couple of Sterbas Corys to my community tank a week ago. They seem happy enough and I am feeding the tank with flake food and dissolving tablet. However I rarely see the corys eat any of the food in the tank at feeding time - the danios and platys polish-off the disolving tablet. Should I be concerned ?

You should buy them some sinking catfish pellets, that way the top feeding fish can't get the pellet as it sinks to fast - left for the cories to gobble up Although I'm sure their must be some bits sinking to the bottom that they find.

If you keep an eye on things, you will probably see the cories cleaning up the food that rests on the tank bottom over a period of time after the feeding. If nothing makes it to the bottom I would be quite surprised. In my cory tanks I feed with small sinking pellet food but in the other tanks there is usually plenty of uneaten food on the bottom for the cories to graze it over the next couple of hours.
