Feeding cories?

Our corydoras julii catfish love Nutrafin Max Sinking Pellets and TetaMin Tropical Tablets (sinking food). They have never eaten Hikari sinking wafers and I've given up trying to sneak them into the menu. They also didn't care for Wards Shrimp Pellets but my understanding is that this is an idiosyncracsy based on other's experiences.
Peter99, do you feed your corys the shrimp pellets after the lights are out? If I don't do it this way, the tetras are little pigs and hog them away from everyone else.
When the lights are out, I push the shrimp pellets to the bottom. Sometimes the tetras will follow them down but lose interest because I think they can't see them very well.
At least I hope the corys are getting some food. They must be because the one is getting really big (think it's a female) and the other little one is catching up fast. They are very active and really goofy sometimes. Cute little guys, aren't they?

Thanks Anne for the suggestion.
My neons are particularly aggressive when it comes to food. My betta has gotten beaten up pretty badly by those tetras
, I saw a neon nipping on the betta's butt because he took too big of a bite on the pellet.
As for my cories getting food, yup, they do. The cories get their share, but not as much as the bettas and tetras do.

I keep a 150 tanks mostly cories 44 varieties right now. Cories have expandable stomachs so like goldfish can pack it in. This can be problamatic due to the waste by products etc. I bred panda cories and long fin pandas they tend to eat less than the larger. Most above suggestions are correct vary the diet any good food. Kens fishfood makes a nice stable catfish pellet. Put a few live brine shrimp in the tank and watch. Cories are also schoolers in the wild 100s in a school so the running is consistant with panda attitude. Pandas also like cover java moss/fern to crawl into they will also lay in this or artifical mops.
