Andy's Fish Den Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 Try feeding them after the lights are off. I throw in sinking pellets or wafers for my corys several times a week just after the lights go off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

April0617 Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 I don't have advice, just sympathy. I have a pig of a Gourami doing the same thing. After lights out, first thing in the morning before the sun comes up, doesn't seem to matter... She's ALWAYS watching. Trying repashy tonight to see if that works better. Otherwise, I may have to try building some sort of Cory fort that she can't get under 🤷 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurt Brutting Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 My Cory’s love repashy bottom scratcher and the fish who usually get the lions share just go for little left over pieces floating by and my Cory’s get to pig out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isaac M Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 My recommendation would be to feed the bettas first (or any other fish for other members experiencing this issue) and then feed a food that is long lasting in the aquarium such as repashy or xtreme sinking wafers. What I have found is that if I feed enough, the other more aggressively feeding fish will eat until they are full and then leave the cory food alone. They may pick at it for the first hour or so but after that, the corys will be able to eat it the rest of the day/ night. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
