Do oto's eat bloodworms and flakes?

I have five in a planted 33long. They do a marvelous job on all algae in the tank and keep it looking good. However, I have noticed when I drop flakes or the occasional bloodworms, they seem to feeding off the bottom with my cories. Will they take to such foods?

On this day I dropped a blanced zuccini(sp?) and they barely noticed it by just grazing occassionally. But they started feeding right away with my cories when I feed the entire tank as mentioned above.

they'll certainly eat them but they really need to have the fresh veggies that you gave them and other kinds of vegetation like algae. as long as there is lots of algae growing in your tank they should be okay

There seems to be plenty of diatoms. Maybe that's why they have practically ignored the veggie. The flakes are green flakes so there is veggie matter in those. Thanks for the reply
