How do I get fish off of live foods?

[Yanni]

I recently got some snow white corydoras and was told that they were fed a diet of live blackworms and live baby brine shrimp. I don't currently have those two things and was wondering if I could somehow get the corydoras to start eating things like frozen and dry foods. The cories are pretty small, about 0.5-0.75 inches. They are big enough to eat stuff like frozen bloodworms but should I invest in some live foods or is there a way to get them to take frozen and dry foods?

Have you tried feeding them crushed flake or sinking pellets and they won't eat it? I've found corydoras not to be picky eaters, mine seem to scavenge any food that makes it to the bottom. They aren't the fastest eaters though, so you need to make sure that food gets past any fish in the upper water levels.

Getting a cory to eat will be the least of your problems. They won't let themselves starve to death. They'll eat. Now if you're trying to transition a large predatory fish off of live food, it can be more challenging.
