Mohammed Posted December 10, 2021 Share Posted December 10, 2021 Hi everyone just came across this forum today. Have always had fish since we were kids. Now have just setup a tank for my son to enjoy. Have 4 platies, 2 mollies, 9 cardinal tetras (xl) and 6 corydoras. All going well, apart being able to feed the Cory's, as the other fish eat their food! I've tried feeding flakes first then dropping sinking pellets or wafers but no luck. I seem to have trained all the other fish to eat cory food. Help! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xXInkedPhoenixX Posted December 10, 2021 Share Posted December 10, 2021 Hi @Mohammed welcome to the forum. This probably won't stop them but deter or slow them a little maybe. Have you tried a shelter like a pleco cave or similar that the Cories could hang out in? If your Cories are more active at night like my Otos are, feed them at night instead.

Atitagain Posted December 10, 2021 Share Posted December 10, 2021 Welcome to the forum, you could try target feeding the corys with a turkey baster. good luck mate 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flumpweesel Posted December 10, 2021 Share Posted December 10, 2021 Hi, nice to have another person in my timezone. I'd try dropping the sinking food closer to the bottom ( you'll have to get your hand wet ) then feed floating and slow sinking food. The high level greedy fish will hopefully be deterred by your hand then distracted by the new floaty yummy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robert K Posted December 11, 2021 Share Posted December 11, 2021 Hi! I would feed the sinking pellets when the lights are off. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guppysnail Posted December 12, 2021 Share Posted December 12, 2021 Welcome. I use terra cotta pots cut in half as caves. I feed my corydora in that. The guppies still come in and eat but they can’t all get to it at once. It slows them enough my Cory get their share. I also underfeed my guppies and overfeed sinking wafers.
