Ok, i would just like to say that this site has given me a lot of information about fish that i currently keep and those that i am thinking about keeping, so everyone, keep up the good work. Now, as for my question. I fed my cories some shrimp pellets a little while ago, and as i was watching them eat, i noticed that they would eat pieces of the pellet and the "blow" it out of their gills. I had never noticed this before, and i was wondering if anyone had or if anyone had any idea as to what they were doing. I know that there is a theory about egg fertilization along these lines, but i have never heard or read anywhere about them doing this with their food. Any input would be appreciated.
Weird (to me) cory cat behavior

Ive seen mine do the same thing. I think they bite more than they can swallow, then expel the exess out their gills. I have also watched some of my other fish do the same.
