Corydorus habrosus diet?

[newportjon]

Pretty soon, I plan on getting 10 of these little guys.

My question, is what does everyone feed them? I wanted to get a good idea of different things they'd eat before buying them.

On hand I have:

-Frozen bloodworms
-Frozen brine shrimp
-Hikari Freeze dried bloodworms, tubifex worms
-Hikari algae wafers
-Tetramin microcrabs and Tetramin Algae flakes w/ spirulina

All the advice is greatly appreciated!

Thanks,
Jon

They will happily eat all of the above.

Ahh, ok.

I was debating on getting maybe some shrimp pellets or something. I think I've heard people talking about feeding their corys those.

Really, I just want to make sure they get a lot of variety to keep them happy!

They do like shrimp pellets. You will find most of your fish will.

Mine seem to think bloodworm is too big. They love microworms and grindal worms (live), any kind of flake or pellet, and even soft vegetable foods.

They are extremely cute and fun to watch-enjoy them!

Shrimp pellets and Hikari sinking wafers had good results IME.
