Can corys eat NLS pellets?

**madly99** · 06-20-2008, 01:13 AM

This is possibly a silly question, but can corys eat NLS small fish formula pellets? I've been feeding them hikari sinking wafers while I give my other fish the NLS, but I'm running out of the wafers and am wondering if I really need to get more. I've just never actually seen a cory consume a pellet - it looks like it goes in the mouth and out the gill, but perhaps they're scraping a little nutrition off unbeknownst to me?

Any help is appreciated!

Definitely. Mine chow down on them like the rest of my fish. They love them.

Without question. They love it. Just dont get the really large pellets, they are more difficult for them.

That is all any of my fish get. Fish and other tank inhabitants I have or have had on nothing but NLS:
cories
loaches (clown, yoyo, angelicus, kuhlii, dojo)
otocinclus
plecos (common, bristlenose, gold nugget)
platies
shrimp (ghost, amano, tiger, tangerine, bamboo)
angels
discus
peacock cichlids
mbunas
silver dollars
goldfish
axolotls
guppies
tiretrack eel
bichirs (ornate, delhezi)
black ghost knife
and others

We also feed NLS A LOT at work. The only fish I have come across that won't switch to NLS is needlenose gar, which are notorious for not switching off of live foods. We feed it to: african butterflyfish, clown knife, arowanas, all the cichlids, rainbowfish, and many others.

Mine ate it. Just make sure it gets to the bottom and it will be gobbled up.

I just started feeding nls couple days ago and I've noticed my bottom dwellers pick up the scent of it much faster, I dont know if its something in nls or there just crazy about it but withint seconds of it hitting the surface they are all over the substrate searching. Well they eat it
