What to feed corydoras

I feed mine shrimp/algae pellets, frozen blood worms; they'll basically go for most anything. Usually once per day. Some times I'll skip a day when I'm fasting the tank.
They'll mainly accept anything, but the trick is mainly having the food sink to the bottom of the tank.
Flakes, sinking pellets, frozen foods (bloodworms, bbs, etc.)...basically whatever they can get at. I've seen them nibble at some veggies too when it gets softer but I have no idea how effective their mouths are at getting a hold of such large chunks. I would usually alternate sinking pellets about every other day to make sure they were actually getting some food themselves since the danios that were with them gobbled up most everything before they even noticed there was food in the tank (they are the most oblivious fish, I swear). I usually dropped one in a little before the lights went off.

finkids make me happy :-)
my cories get fed whatever the tank gets fed, be it flakes/crisps, pellets, frozen, etc. i feed once a day, every day. they eat everything, lil gluttons..... lol.
At work when I was allowed to feed the fish I use to give them flakes they truly are gluttons. They would go crazy for the bite of food. Cute lil buggers they are. Never owned any though.
whatever floats to the bottom of the tank, usually flakes but other stuff like pieces of frozen food work too. i tried cucumber once and it didnt really look like they were biting anything off...maybe it wasnt soft enough
since my corys and plecos don't like to compete with the other fish for food. i like to throw an algae wafer or two in after lights out when i know they will be able to get some.
