whens the best time to feed cories?

[erirku]

So I was wondering when does everyone feed their cories or other bottom feeders? I feed mine twice a day, one in the morning and one at night. Just so I can get a feel on when everyone feeds theirs, so I can change it only at night. thanks

i only feed mine at night, and because they scavenge so much other food off the bottom, I only throw in the sinking pellets every other night.

it's best to know your tank,and how the other coccupants affect feeding.corys are diurnal so the time is always right for them,but if other fish in the tank hored the food or are much more aggresive,they the corys won't ever get a chance to eat.
also,while time isn't critical to most corys sometimes it's better to feed at night if the fish are shy or skittish,but those conditions generaly reflect that something else is wrong in a tank.

I feed them sinking tabs at night; the loaches won't really touch in the day, plus the shrimp would grab it and run anyway.

the shrimp get the flakes that hit the bottom, as do the cories during the day, so I guess I feed them directly at night and indirectly in the day.
