What do you feed your corydoras?

What do you feed your corydoras? I feed mine shrimp pellets and algae wafers, but I wonder if I am missing out on something.

So please list your cory food and treats here. As always, thanks for taking the time to reply.

Hikari algae wafers,Hikari Crab cuisine,live grindal worms, Hikari frozen bloodworms, Sera san & vipan, Red Tiny bits by HBH, Frozen Cyclopeeze, frozen Piscine mysis shrimp,Ocean Nutrition formula 1 flake, ken's homemade pellets for corydoras. They also seem to like what I feed my shrimp, Invertebrate food by Chambers,Hikari CRS food, and Shirakura. I tried Rain's shrimpy biscuits but nobody eats it.

I feed mine a variety of Ken's Fish food.....5 stick blend (veggie, cichlid, earthworm....2 more sticks...), catfish pellets, spirulina wafers, whatever flake falls to the bottom.

Mine get quite a variety but they seem to go nuts for NLS sinking pellets.

Mysis Shrimp and Bloodworms.

Sometimes algae wafers when I remember.

I feed mine what ever i feed my other fish that day. Normally, that's New Life Spectrum flakes or blood worms(1 or 2 times a week).

Thanks for all of the replies, everyone.

Is this Ken another member, or is that a brand name?

And what are NLS sinking pellets, please?

Thanks again. You all rock!

Frozen blood worms will sink after you thaw it out. I just thaw out a cube in a baby food jar of aquarium water and pour it into the tank....an okay amount make it down to the substrate without being gobbled up by the other fish first.

well. . .actually my first priority is to feed bloodworms to my glass catfish. ..but after a while, it'll thaw n sink. . .it is a delicasy for fish i guess, coz even only when i drop the juice out of the frozen blood worms they'll gather round. . .^^
