I have shrimp pellets for my 2 bronze cories, and they sure don't want to eat them. They seem to come by and "sniff" them but then go their merry way. They eat everything else at the bottom, why not these pellets?
The LFS guy told me the cories would love them. Hmph.
I had a similar issue with my angelfish. Went n bought some Omega One; very expensive, but one of the best fishfoods on the market. Fish are supposed to adore it. My guys could have cared less; they prefer the cheaper stuff LOL

Yea, my cory are the same pretty picky eaters. They actually prefer to forage for the flake fook that falls to the bottom rather then eat shrimp pellets. But hey what they don't eat my featherfin catfish gobbles up in one bite!!!

My cories have strange eating habits, sometimes the frenzy over sinking wafers and sometimes they could care less but will go bonkers for some nutrafin goldie food.
Also, the seem to like carrot well at least pushing it around.

My panda cories eat everything (so far). I know they even eat hatched BBS since as soon as I inject them into the water, they come to life. If they were eating something on the gravel already, they all abandon what they were eating and move around like maniacs - I'm assuming they are picking up some BBS that sank near the bottom...
Now what am I going to do with this huge tin of shrimp pellets?! If I smush them a bit do you think the platies and mollies would eat them?
Well at least I know my cories aren't the only picky fish out there! These little goobers swim upside down and pretty much eat anything in the tank. I get them special food and they won't eat it. Oy vay!
