Help with puny cory cats

corys are a social fish and need 5 or more to be socially happy. they are also carnivores and enjoy brine shrimp, bloodworms, a good flake food etc....
what are you feeding them?

They are also very particular about water quality...what are your water parameters?
Do they have their barbels?

I dont think small corys die at all.i recently bought 3 small cories and they are plumping up well and dancing everywhere in the tank. (see the panda corys thread below for a pic).
 
I don't have the cories YET. I will be getting them in December.

Omnivores. ;) They'll eat pretty much anything.

IME, cories are pretty hardy. Make sure you keep up with your water changes though.

my bad,i thought they were carnivores...
 
I never heard that the smaller ones die more easily. They are more sensitive to high nitrate than some other fish, so you want to keep up with water changes. And be sure to put them in a cycled tank. Other than that, you should have no problems with them.
