Cories and cukes?

[Hockeygrrl]

I got 4 cories yesterday and I was wondering what I should feed them. I have algae tablets and some other sinking food. Will they eat cucumbers?

I don't think they'll eat cucumbers. They seem to like frozen brine shrimp and frozen bloodworms as a treat. I don't think mine like the algae tablets too much, but some really like the shimp pellets. They also eat the flake that the other fish don't get.

Are flakes just enough for them? I have those shrimp pellets that sink. They look like little logs. Will they eat those?

They do eat the flakes that the fish miss on the way down, but most people supplement this with sinking shrimp pellets a couple of times a week. If these are the cories in the betta tank, they will probably eat the betta food that he misses on the way down (if he misses any), too.
