	corys and barbs?
Smaug Hobbyist Posts: 66 Kudos: 72 Votes: 3 Registered: 30-Jul-2004	hi! I got a 240litres aqua with: 2 gouramies, 1 colisa and 9 tiger barbs I was thinking about adding a school of 5 corys, my problem is how to feed the corys without leting the barbs eat their food. If i drop a sinking pallet they will eat it as well as the flakes! Anyone has corys and barbs in the same aqua? How do you feed ones and others?

I started using the sinking pellets at night and found the Corys would find them while the Barbs usually jst ignored them. Worked well for me at least. http://www.fishprofiles.com/site/aquarank.aspx
