What should I feed my cories?

Question

I just bought 2 cordras (sp?) and was woundering the best way to care for them. I was planning on adding 2 more to the tank next week also. Will 4 live happliy together?

Answer 1

I'd get those algae tablets for them. Those pellets seem to get eaten by fish that stay close to the bottom. I've had really good luck with them.
Also, that type of fish tend to do well in larger groups. I wouldn't worry about putting more thatn 4 in a tank though, they reproduce easily, and you may soon find yourself with a family of 15.

Answer 2

Aiyo! You bought a pet w/o knowing how to feed them!?! It's lucky that you still know to seek advice..Phew!

In fact, it's very easy nowsaday to buy the right food for the right fish-just look for the picture on the fish food's packaging!!

Corries are gound-feeders, so sinking food is best for them. Although they sometimes come to the top to eat but that's not their natural way of eating-it either show that they can't get enough food on the ground or it's rarely-hype-active!

Good Day!

Answer 3

Shrimp pellets or Tetramin pellets. You will find that 4 will be much happier than 2. If you get 6, even better. I have six that are about 8 months old and have finally begun to spawn, which is very cool.

Answer 4

A variety of plant material is a good suppliment to regular fish foods. Some examples are blanched zuchinni,smashed peas,lettuce,spinach,etc. Also 6 Cories of the same specie would be much better than 4. Corydoras is the correct spelling.-----PeeTee

Answer 5

Depends on how big your tank is. I'm assuming you are talking about the corie catfish? if so, these guys are bottom feeders, so you are going to need to feed pellets. I feed my guys shrimp pellets.

Answer 6

Corydoras will eat almost anything you give them, make sure some food sinks before the other fish gets the food.
