how much to feed corys?

[terror]

how much do i need to feed corys?
i feed them 2 times a day...
but i still notice they like to swim around and scavenge for food
is it ok to drop in more food ?

how to know if they have been fed enough?

A hungry fish is a healthy fish.

I feed mine once a day. I drop in 1 pellet for all three of them (well 4 if you count the flying fox that has adopted himself in the family). They are scavenger fish and it is their nature to constantly look. That doesn't mean they need to be fed more. Over feeding leads to more waste and potentially sick fish. Are you feeding them a sinking pellet or flakes? I would suggest a mixture of pellets. I use algae tabs, shrimp pellets and a complete bottom feeder tablet, giving one or the other each day.

oh... i feed mine frozen bloodworms, flakes and hikari algae wafers

i have hikari sinking wafers and hikari algae wafers, i feed either one sinking wafer 2 times daily, or maybe 1/3 of an algae wafer 2 times daily, and the other fish eat the flake, it seems to work since they dont look emaciated

I feed my 5 corys and 1 britlenose either 1 to 2 algea wafers a day, or a cube of frozen blood worms. As a change in the rutine I sometimes give them chicken, peas, potato or spinach.

I'd say peas are the least favourite of the stuff listed above but they do eat them none the less. grilled chicken gets the best reception by far
