UK cory keepers - what foods do you use?

[AdoraBelle Dearheart]

Hi! I'm looking for better quality but ideally not bank-breaking foods for corydoras. Right now mine are getting meaty frozen foods and King British catfish pellets, but I'm looking for a better quality sinking pellet, and perhaps a meaty flake to improve their nutrition, although I worry that the other fish would eat the flake before it hit the sand.

Also looking for a better quality algae wafer for otocinclus that hopefully doesn't pollute the tank too quickly. The Omega One veggie rounds are highly recommended, but they're hard to get at a reasonable price right now.

Have been talking about possibilities with Canadian and US members, but food availability varies country to country. What would you recommend?

Omega one - veggie rounds and shrimp pellets are about the best for cories.
I also feed mine the king british catfish pellets and Fluval bug bites too for a bit of variety

Thank you so much! I'll keep looking for the omega one while I'm using up the king british and will order the hikari ones too. I've been giving mine some of the bug bites granules, just because I already had them in stock too, but feeding them frozen mini-bloodworms and tubifex has to be the best in terms of pure entertainment value-they eat them like a bunny eating spaghetti! Adorable

Dennerle Cookies Special Menu - 100ml/38g

This food is shaped into wafers and sinks fast for bottom-dwelling fish such as cory, loach, sucking loach, bichir and many types of catfish.Of course it contains only aquatic animal components and high-quality plant-based components, such as moringa leaves and grape seed oil.

Found it on Green Aqua, and it lists ingredients in the details section, looks pretty good to me?

Video - Cookie time

Dropped half a Dennerle Cookie into the tank this evening and left the camera running. Its sort of like a giant bug bite - about half the size of a paracetamol tablet. The great thing is they don't dissolve (at least not within 12 hours) so there is no fouling of the water. If I put an entire...

Looks like it must be! That's great, if Sean likes them, and they don't foul the water. Sounds like a quarter tab would be enough for the six cories and two botia. And I have a tablet splitter lying around from when my cat was on meds.
