Hi all

Following on from my other thread about whether the get cory's or otto's I went out today and bought 4 baby panda corys:clap:. They are really cute but a bit smaller than I realised when I looked at them in the shop ... about 1cm long!

I plan to feed tetra min flakes and a few tetra mini wafers (not algae tabs, these apparently contain fish as well) in the morning and frozen bloodworm and brine shrimp in the evening ... maybe with a few extra wafers. Does this sound OK or given how small they are should I be feeding for baby fish? :huh:

Appreciate your thoughts!
 
frozen blood worms might be a little big for them, brine shrimp would be good. There are lots of good cory foods out there. They should be able to eat anything the adults can, minus the big worms and etc. congrats on the find.
 
I have been cutting up the blood worm as they are a bit big for the tetras too but they love them ... very funny watching them swim around trying to suck the whole worm in!

I can see it is going to be tricky to make sure they get enough without over feeding ... suspect I am in for lots more water changes over the next few weeks but they are sooo cute am sure they will be worth it :o
