Freshwater Beginners A place where freshwater aquarium fish beginners can go to post their questions and hopefully get responses from those more experienced. Also check out the Freshwater Fish Beginner's Guide and Aquarium Setup Guides. Setting up a new freshwater aquarium can be a rather large project and you want to make sure you do it right the first time. If you need help with your fish tank please don't be afraid to ask questions. That's what this fish forum is all about!

not sure if my fish are eating

i have 2 little corydoras that run around the bottom to find food, but it just sucks on the shrimp pellet onces and then leaves to find other foods. The shrimp pellets do dissapear after awhile but im not sure if the cory is eating them or the platy is picking on them. Should i start feeding the corys somethign diffrent?

I have to Albino Cories and I feed them about 1 pellet of bottomfeeder tablets every couple days. They are very uninterested in it and like to suck the algae from the heater and the walls instead. Usually after a day or so they finish it but they definetly don't get excited like other fish. I think they should be fine! Good luck!

for some reason, my cories don't like shrimp pellets, so i just get sinking wafers (the kind i have has a picture of a julii cory cat on the front). it would probably be a good idea to get some to vary their diet a bit, but they are probably eating it. if not, they are at least getting some of the flake food that slips by the platies.
