I feed my cory catfish algae wafers but it hardly touches it, and when it does, hes not very good at it. Any tips or solutions?
 
Is he eating other foods? If he's eating other stuff, he may not have figured out the algae wafers are food--maybe try dropping in a quarter tab on a nightly basis until he works it out and vacumming it up if it's still there in the morning. If he's not eating anything....there are a lot of possibilities. Is he a new fish? He may be settling in, or if he's by himself, he may be lonely (or both). If you've had him a while and this is a new behavior, he may be getting sick, or something's changed in your water, maybe?
