Emerald Green Corys not eating regular dried shrimp pellets

[meng-chieh]

Hi

I have a question: how come my Emerald Green Corys will eat the dried blood worms originally intended for my tetras (the blood worms float) but won't even touch the shrimp pellets that is specifically intended for bottom feeders?

My Cory cats will eat anything. Think you spoiling them. :D They are scavengers, and SHOULD eat anything. Just feed them what they like.

Shrimp pellets and sinking wafers are hard, and need time to soften and dissolve before a cory can eat it. Remember, most fish a gulpers, not chewers.
