I have three corys. How often and how much should I be feeding them? At the mo I am feeding them 2 Tabimin tablets, twice a day.
Also, Yesterday night, my peppered cory started hiding and now I hardly see him at all. He was fine, if not one of my happiest and most healthy looking corys I have. Why is he doing this?
:confused:
 
Do other fish in your sig share the tank & tabimin? For only 3 corys that seems way too much. Try breaking the tabs in half or quarters & feed 1-3 bits, then feeding twice a day at most. Tabimin melt to dust that can end up in the gravel or filter but fish love them!

Is the pepper cory the only 1 of his species? That can make them more shy even if there are other corys of different kinds.
 
Agreed. I used to have four that did well on one of those tabs per day, and that might have been a bit much. Can you get them some company--say two more peppereds and one or two more of the other type, at a minimum?
 
ill try and get three more; two peppered and 1 more albino because my panda is friendly and swims with any cory that ive ever had. Btw the peppered cory seems to be ok now. As for feeding, yes my other fish love them. Ill feed them what you said and see hw they get on. Thanks for the help everyone!
