Panda

I got some Panda Cory's 4 days ago. First time keeping catfish. I got them algae wafers but they won't eat them. Blanched a zucchinI slice, won't eat... They look happy, swimming all over the place, digging through the sand. Are they eating something else and I don't see it? I called the store and the guy told me they're getting used to the tank?
Cycled 30G tank, heavily planted, 1 Betta, 15 Neons

 

Try something with protein. Like shrimp wafers or pellets.

Algae and veggies are not their primary diet.

 

I read that! I will try it, thank you!

 

They aren't really algae eaters. I mean they will nibble at wafers at time but they mostly scavenge left over fish food. HirakI pellets and shrimp pellets get them excited. Mind you they do need some vegI so don't feed them meat (shrimp pellets) exclusively.

 

Try some bug bites pellets.
Shrimp pellets too.

I feed:
Omega One flakes
Bug Bites
Shrimp pellets
Frozen bloodworms/brine shrimp/mysis shrimp
1 time a week algae wafer

Occasionally ill offer shrimp or fish from the grocery store too.

Would the fluval pleco stick bug bites work? Any suggestions on brand?
