Couple of Banjo and cory questions

[captmicha]

1. If banjo catfish can eat bumble bee gobies... Would they be able to eat peacock gudgeons?

2. If I ever get around to breeding mini corys, will NLS Small Fry Starter Formula suffice or do I have to use liquid fry food? I'm also going to feed live stuff but want to supplement with a commercial food. I'm particularily concerned with newly hatched fry.

3. What size golden pearls can I use and at which stages? http://www.brineshrimpdirect.com/other-goldpearl-particle-c149.html

4. Kind of OT but how can apple snails output infusoria?

I can't answer most of your questions, but I do have 2 female banjo cats. They are about 2 yrs old, and they are extremely well behaved little fish. I have never seen them eat any of my fish,. They do eat frozen bloodworms, and I shake shrimp pellets in the tank after dark, but can't image them eating a live full grown fish.

I have two too. I really like them. So chubby looking.

I have a hard time picturing a banjo catfish eating a bumblebee goby, their mouths are pretty small. A bumblebee catfish is another matter...
I ground up NLS Grow pellets with a couple flat pieces of marble to feed my L-10a whiptail fry when they were tiny. Should work as well for Cory fry.
No clue on the golden pearls, never used them myself.
Apple snails poop partially digested vegetable matter, and their slime trails are also a source of nutrition for infusoria. Shrimp will also eat snail poop.
