    Default New bronz cories

    I just bought 4 new bronz cories. Does any one know what they like to eat. The pet shop said left over fish flakes. Is that enough.

    Every so often give them a treat of frozen brine shrimp or blood worms. They love it!

    I give my cories algae wafers, sinking cichlid pellets, and the occasional blanched vegetable (zucchini, cucumber), as well as brine shrimp/bloodworm. They're very opportunistic, so as long as you provide a balanced diet they'll be fine. I find that just letting them scavenge is not quite enough though, unless you really overfeed, which is a bad idea.

    Good move, their diet needs to be planed, just like any other fish. I wouldn't listen to the person that gave you that advise. Probably doesn't know any better.
