Baby brine shrimp are always a good first food, but you can also used commercial fry food like First Bites... The commercial food is probably more balanced, and easier than the brine shrimp (which you would have to raise yourself).

Cory fry tend to be fairly tiny, and often too small for Baby Brine Shrimp (BBS), so I would try microworms. They are a fair bit smaller than BBS, and settle to the bottom of the tank where the fry feed. They are fairly easy to culture, just some cooked oatmeal, a little yeast, a starter culture and away you go. I have always preferred live food to prepared food, at least for the first month, as I find my fry grow faster and do better on live foods. I usually move my bigger fry to BBS in one or two weeks (depending on the size of the fry) at alternate feedings, keeping up with the microworms often up until the fry are 6 weeks or so. I am personally not a huge fan of commercially prepared foods (like flake and pellets) and only introduce them a few weeks before I sell my fry so that they will not run into problems in their new homes if they are only offered flake or pellets at meal times. Good luck with your fry!

You can get frozen baby brine shrimp, just thaw them out in a little tank water before offering them up. I love raising catfish and have a very prolific trio of emerald cats.
