Algae wafers enough for cories?

[Tanichthys]

Hi all,
Right now my cories get algae wafers and whatever flakes fall to the bottom. I'm almost out, so I'm heading to the shop tomorrow. Is algae enough, or do they need a more varied sinking food?

Get a slow sinking pellet formula for a community tank. Enough will hit the bottom that they will have plenty to eat. You other fish will enjoy it as well.

Rich, any brand suggestions?

I use both Hikari and NLS pellets. My bettas especially like the Hikari ones.

Yeah, I'm finding out that a lot of my fish love Hikari Betta and Micro Pellets including corys. Add some spirulina pellet or flake and you're good to go for staple foods.

I use Ocean Nutrition Tropical Wafers for bottom feeders. My cories love them.

I never fed my corys algae wafers, until I had algae eaters in the tank. They did fine on flakes/pellets for years.

Now they nibble on the wafers too...so it's all good...

IMHO, All Ocean Nutrition foods are great! Flakes, pellets, frozen..doesn't matter. thumbs2:
