Fishyandrew45 Hobbyist Posts: 137 Kudos: 98 Votes: 0 Registered: 16-Jul-2004	I just picked up four corys from the lfs. They seem to be doin pretty good.Whats some good food that I could get for them. Do they eat algae off the glass? Should I buy some algae wafers. Any help welcome thanks

However, regular sinking wafers or pellets (for omnivores) would probably be better. Flake food is good for regular feeding, with wafers/pellets, freeze-dried, and live food as treats. Cories will eat just about anything. And when he gets to Heaven, to Saint Peter he will tell: "One more Marine reporting, Sir! I've served my time in Hell."

If you want to keep them in top shape or are hoping to breed them you'll want to feed some sort of live or frozen food.
