Frozen Bloodworms Corydoras Feeding Problem

My 5 panda corydoras have a problem. I have tried Aqueon Shrimp Pellets, HikarI Sinking Wafers, and Marineland Shrimp Wafers. They touched the Marineland Shrimp Wafers a few times but never seen them really "into" it. I decided it was no more of wasting my money and go to the LFS to ask what they feed their panda corydoras (my pandas came from that LFS) and they said that they feed them HikarI Frozen Bloodworms. The store suggested it melted (which I agree) and suggested to feed 1/3 cube once a day. Thing is is that when I dropped it in, my tetras went crazy for the bloodworms. Before the cories got a chance, the bloodworms were all gone. So, I put a bit more, so far I've put 1/2 cube in the tank and the same thing happened. So, I've decided to feed two times with a whole cube in each feeding each day. Sound good? Reply fast! I am very tired of getting my cories to eat for 1 1/2 weeks and making no progress in making them eat.

I thaw the cubes in a little dish with clean water and use a turkey baster to deliver it to the lowest levels so the cories get first dibs

I don't think I have a turkey baster.

You can get them at any dollar store. Or, grab your water change syphon and turn it around so that instead of draining the tank into a bucket you drain a container of thawed worms into the bottom of the tank! A dollar store turkey baster is much easier though

Feed the blood worms at one end of the tank. While the other fish are eating, feed the Cory at the other end.

After I feed my other fish, my tetras tend to go away from the feeding place and wander around the tank.
