Corydoras favorite Repashy?

[mynameisnobody]

Hello all, What have you found to be a Cory’s fave Repashy food? Fave food in general? I want to spoil my school of pandas for the hours of enjoyment I get out of them. Please help me spend my money. Thank you 😎

Of the ones mine have tried:
Soilent Green: While they do enjoy eating their veggies, it is allowed, but after a while they don't go insane over it.
Super Green: Similar to soilent green, expect more enjoyment of it, slightly.
Community blend: The overall "yep it's good" food.  You can expect most every fish to enjoy it, they don't go insane, but they do like it. Very, very healthy for them too.
Bottom Scratcher: They definitely went nuts over it when I first fed it!  They had never had the fly larvae before and boy did they like the new smell.  They do seem to enjoy this a lot, especially blended and mixed in with the others. 

So... to answer your question.... get at least 2! I would probably suggest bottom scratcher and soilent green or bottom scratcher and community blend if you have a good amount of spirulina flake for now.

As far as in the future for me personally I am going to try the igapo explorer one next as well as spawn and grow.
Igapo: It has the fly largae in it, but also some other nice things that I think would be healthy.
S&G: seaweek, spirulina, as well as a ton of other good things. I have heard this is an overall "good food" nutritionally, but it also may encourage spawnings. It has tons of vitamins 🙂

@nabokovfan87 I have a thriving dozen panda’s that are super entertaining to watch. I know how to feed them, but I want strictly “what drives your Cory’s nuts?” Aaaaaand you nailed it. Thank you as I will be purchasing 2 Repashys and mixing as you instructed above.

I've only fed one kind of Repashy, and went with Bottom Scratcher at the recommendation of others. I'll add a 2nd kind soon.. 

They also go nuts for thawed frozen bloodworms.

I agree with that certainly my corys favourite. Not that I've tried repashy never see the fish one for sale at the lfs

Mine love them all but go nuts for grub pie. 
Invest in a grindal worm culture. Not expensive and super easy. All 4 of my Cory species go bonkers. Worms are a natural food. My aspidoras try to catch them floating. The rest go into overdrive I feel they will dig to China looking for them 🤣

Once they are big enough white worms are great for encouraging breeding.

Mine love the frozen brine!  They go nuts for it.  One of the pandas had a worm go down the gills and scared em, so they all are leery of worms.  For whatever reason, all the worms I have local are giant for my little pandas.

I've never used rapashi, I like sinking Bug Bites bottom feeder formula, Hikari bottom feeder sinking wafers, and live baby brine. of course, they scavenge whatever comes from above that the other fish miss

I usually use a mix of community grub pie bottom scratcher soilent green all together. Then every other time I make a batch I'll add in a bit of spawn and grow for the extra fats and proteins.

@cavdad45 I currently also use bottom feeder bug bits, bbs, krill flakes, and Xtreme bottom wafers. Truthfully, I was listening to an old Cory live stream and the way he was talking about Repashy made me want to experiment with it a bit.
