for an adult albino cory about 2 inches in length is one pellet a day enough? too much?

I am talking about regular size sinking pellets such as these

A half-pellet/wafer per day would be good.

that sounds about right, I was thinking that one pellet per fish a day might be a little too much

I have a school of 4 albino cories, 2 adults and 2 smaller ones, lately I've been giving them 2 pellets a day with a break on sunday
 
I've switched over to the NLS pellets for my Corys. What's great about them is they don't start dissolving like other wafers and pellets. I've got 6 Pandas...and I usually drop 2 in every couple days. You'll watch them taking turns chowing down on them. How many Corys do you have? (I ask because they really need to be in a group...the more the merrier.)
 
My cories won't touch the wafer/pellet for some reason. They do love foraging for leftovers though

What kind of NLS are you using?

And yeah I usually drop a half or full wafer down for my corys and loaches. They go crazy for a good spirulina disk and/or shrimp pellet!

They're the NLS h2o stable wafers. They've got a picture of a Cory and some type of SW fish on the front. I just saw one I dropped in 3 days ago that my Ram is chowing on...and it pretty much still looks like it did when I added it. The Corys like the Hikari algae wafers more...but those things make a darn mess.
 
Hi, I just started using the NLS wafers too and found also that my 3 guppies and 2 panda corys ate only about a 1/3 of a wafer in a little over 24hrs. I was surprised to see most of the wafer was stil intact because the jar's label said it would release the food over 24 hrs (ie I thought the wafer would be dissolve in 24hrs). Are you concerned at all that the residual wafer after 3 days will be "polluting" your water?
 
Ken's sinking pellets.
Kens Fish has a science to fish food.
My six Corrys are:)
