I have five cory cats and they have no trouble eating. I feed them nutrimax flakes, frozen blood worms, and sinking shrimp pellets.

My Corys often don't like to eat food right away. They seem to like to wait till it has been on the bottom and softened up a bit. But I don't mean that you should feed so much that food accumulates on the bottom. They will find what is left over with normal feeding.

One exception is the frozen blood worms. They jump on them immediately. They have pretty small mouths so it takes them a bit longer to eat than the other fish in the tank.

All the fish love them worms!

Try tossing them some shrimp pellets right after you turn off the lights. Mine eat during the day, all day, but if you don't see them eating much then try feeding them at night.
HTH!

How long have you had them? Maybe they are still getting used to their home. They will not eat if they are getting used to their home, and it usually takes them up to three weeks sometimes. They usually get used to it before then, though.

I have had them 2 weeks, and I have throw pettlets ( shrimp) and wafers, and flakes etc. they are running around all over the place looking but seem to go right over the foods. even after they soften up they just go over the top of them and to other parts of the tanlk. there active, but do not seem to like what I give them
