Hi everyone, I just got 2 Agassizi Cory Cats. Will they go to the top of the water to eat? I normally feed freeze-dried bloodworms do corys eat bloodworms?

My cories usually eat the flakes that fall to the bottom of the tank. I also feed them algae wafers. Mine don't seem to like the shrimp pellets much, but will occasionally eat them. Other people say their cories go nuts for shrimp pellets. They seem to like the frozen bloodworms and brine shrimp, too. I think they will like the freeze-dried bloodworms too.

I have never seen my cories go to the top of the tank to eat.

My cory (alone since his companion died :() eats flakes that make their way to the bottom of the tank. Every couple of days I put some freeze dried blood worms in the tank. He loves them! They are the only food that he will actually swim to the top to try and eat :)

i've had accomplish feeding Hikari Tropical Sinking Wafers to my cories and oto, they love them, you should feed ur cory flakes too, here is a way of the flakes falling to the bottom. get the flakes and put then where the water of the filter comes out and drop it there, so once the water comes out it would put pressure on the flakes and make it sink :)
