How Much Should I Be Feeding My Corys?

[Alm0stAwesome]

I've got three young sterbai corys that are about 1.5" long. The food I've got for them is TetraWafer Mix I've just been giving them one wafer a day as it takes them a while to get through it (they have been working on one for an hour now) but I want to make sure they are getting enough to eat especially as the tank is new there isn't much growing in there.

Thanks for the help!

Helloooo can anybody hear me??

If you work on the assumption (which is more or less correct) that each fish's stomach is about the size of it's eye, and they need that amount each day, you should be able to work out how much you need to be feeding.

I would at least chuck in some bloodworm and flake here and there. Would you want to eat the same thing every day?

Thanks for your input Mowbz BUT please don't assume they are only getting one thing and also...they aren't people

I do plan on using the wafers as their "staple" diet though.

Cheers, that does make me feel more confident that one wafer at a time is a big enough meal for them
