wafers for corys..how much do I feed?

[fishkeeper55]

I will have 3 corys in my 29 gallon tank when they are finished quarantining.

I have the sinking wafers for them.

How many wafers do I feed 3 corys and how often? I need to know NOW as it's feeding time in a few hours! :D

THANKS!

If the cories are the only bottom feeders than 1 a day.

I'd actually say 1/2 a wafer a day or less

Depends on the szie fo the waffer I guess. I feed about 1 shrimp pellet or similar sized thing per 3 cories per day. Plus they obviously get some spare flakes that get to the bottom. If the waffer is the size of a dime then yeah, breaking it in half would be all they would need to eat.

alrighty! I'll probably feed them 1/2 a day for the first week or so because no bottom feeder had touched my aquarium yet! They'll think they have hit the jackpot! :P...it's not dirty though :)

i have four cories, two peppered and two albinos, and four ghost shrimp and if i were to put a whole wafer in there smaller debris from it would remain for the next day. i normally feed 1/2's also until i notice the bottom tank is spotless. feed somewhat sparingly to avoid a messy tank bottom. (i don't mean starve them)

the wafers that my LFS gave me for FREE!!!(sample packet!) are TINY!!! They are the size of these two o's put together -oo

so I fed them one today. :)
