I just can't keep corys!

my cories seem to barley get any food because my greedy guppies but i feed bloodworms mixed with bbs so that my gups cant get all of it and so some makes it to the bottom. Corys also dont like salt

No FW fish like salt.
 
Corys are pigs, they need food. Are you feeding after lights out?? I drop tablet food in just before lights out. One tab for every 2-3 corys.

PS--They love worms. Every week or so I feed them chopped Tubiflex worms. Chop some, dump into tank, turn off room lights, so to sleep.

The corys will find the worms.
 
I put in an algae wafer and sinking pellets for my cories as well as the food for my other fish and they seem to be thriving.IMO you need to make sure you feed cories their own food as they really greedy.
 
HN, my lfs has had oiapoquensis as have coryrus & others on aquabid I think. Extremely cute, like striped tailed pandas. Expensive but very tempting, not the best to try if less expensive corys aren't surviving well.

I understand. I've tried 3 times to keep Pandas. I bought stock from different stores, put them in different tanks, bought small schools (6 or more), tried slow acclimation and still one by one they pass away. I finally gave up. Unfortunately, I have 2 left in my 10 gallon and I know it's just a matter of time.
 
Same here, temp at 80, no luck with Corys, Plecos no problem.
Maybe it is the salt, don't get it.
