What do YOUR cories love and like the most??? (Questions)

My three cories love the shrimp pellets. They also love it when I crush small snails and let them sink to the bottom.

Mine don't seem to mind the light at all, though I have plenty of floating plants. I have provided them with little flower pots for caves, but thy just seem too busy scouring everywhere for food to bother with them.

I have 1 bronze, 1 albino and 1 peppered all of whom get along well and quite often have little naps together.

Mine like catfish pellets and really like tubifex worms.

Mine like SERA's Viformo Tablet Food. i just bought it the other week. Its protein is 46.5% so I hope it will bring out the color and patterns in my corys.

This is what i have
6 Corydoras sterbai
6 Corydoras trilineatus
6 Corydoras panda
4 Corydoras delphax
2 Corydoras aeneus
5 Salt & Pepper Corys

All my fish, including the corys, are fed at approx 11:00 every morning. My cories like the shrimp pellets best. I feed them those mostly but also a couple other sinking "staple food" tablets for variety. They will also munch on the algae eater's algae tablet. But that's ok because he eats their food, too. It's share and share alike.

My lights are on 10 hours a day, they don't seem to mind. I have pots and some thick plants but the aeneus corys are always out in the open. I find my peppered corys do more hiding. In another tank I have 2 albino aeneus and they are even more active, they seem to do a lot more high swimming than sticking to the bottom.

I love to watch them, they remind me of circus clowns. What's cute is at feeding time the peppered corys don't congregate in the feeding corner with the others as much.... instead they swim to the top and hover upside-down at the water surface and eat the floating food. It's funny.

My oldest cory I've had for almost 8 years. His partner died in February and it was sad, but he now has the "kids" following him around.

My substrate is very fine gravel. My tanks are kept at 79F.

I have 2 Leopard cories, a Skunk, a Panda, a Peru Orange Stripe, and something that looks like a Panda, but has a line running down the center of its back connecting the black dorsal fin to the spot near the tail. I also have 3 babies that are a mix between the Panda and the Skunk.

I'm really not sure what they prefer for food. They never really seem to come out for any of the sinking carnivore pellets, algae wafers, or frozen brine shrimp, yet they are all pretty fat so they must be eating something. One thing they WILL come out for is stirred up gravel. They absolutely love to root around in spots that I've disturbed while trimming or removing plants.

About 3/4's of the bottom of my tank is covered in a thick coat of Dwarf Sags, with the left side kept bare and shaded by a huge sword. My cories seem to stay hidden most of the time in the Sags. The babies are always out playing together though.

My lights (110 watts on a 29 gallon) are on for 12 hours a day. A lot of people have said that is way too much light, especially for not having CO2, but I've had it like that for over a year without problems. I haven't even had to scrape the glass since last summer. The only algae in the tank is BBA on the driftwood that was there before I added the lights. It has never spread to the plants, glass, or gravel.

1o sterbais, 15 pandas, 11 similis and 2 paleatus- they all love love love blood worms- frozen.

That's funny, kveeti, that your peppered cory likes to eat from the surface. Of all three of my cories only the peppered one does that. It is funny to watch him swimming upside down at teh surface munching on flakes.

Mine like Wardley's Shrimp Pellets, as well as the Tetra Catfish tabs...I think that they ate some Betta food, too, but I haven't been testing that theory for fear of polluting my tank.

I guess that I should mention my Cory species: two C. aeneus var. Albino, one C. julii, and one C. ambiacus.
