BRAND new to the fish hobby. After 1.5 months, my 20g tank finally cycled and I got 5 young Corydoras Melini to start. One died this morning (less than 48hours in my possession), so now I am paranoid (NH=0, NO2 = 0, NO3 =5, pH = 6.8, temp = 80).
They are super active and seem to forage and “play” all day; however, I am not sure if they are eating.
They are the only fish in there, so it isn’t a competition thing. They don’t seem to know what food is! I have tried a few different foods, but they seem to ignore it. I am hesitant to try more because my tank’s bacteria isn’t super stable yet.
Will they figure it out? Or do I need to keep trying different foods?
Thanks!
I have: micro wafers; vibra bites; flake food, blood worms, and first bites (seem too small for them).
