Albino Cories

I would assume that they are the same as most other cories and would eat algae wafers right? Well, I got 3 about 4 days ago and they don't even touch the algae wafers. I suppose it could be that they weren't eating that in the store they came from so I tried shrimp pellets and they didn't seem interested in them. Do they not like these foods or is it just because they're new/never ate them before? Thanks!

You and I have run into each other somewhere before.



Erin: did they "run and play" when you placed them in your tank?

What do you mean we have run into each other somewhere before? And when I first placed them in there they just sat in one spot for about 5 minutes and then after that they started to search for food and they're doing really well (other then being picky that is!) right now. They're constantly swimming/searching for food. I dropped the wafers and pellets in about 5 minutes before lights out so that my other fish won't try to eat them. All my other cories (in another tank) love algae wafers so I will give them a little more time, but i would feel better if i saw them eating. They're pretty skinny right now as they came from a tank full of barbs (rosey to be exact) and i'm pretty sure they weren't getting much to eat considering the appetites of barbs, so I would just like to fatten them up!
