I have pygmy corys but they aren't very voracious eaters. I see them scavenging sometimes but I never see them eating the food I dop into the tank. So, I sprinkle some first bites into the tank for them to hopefully get a hold of. My pepper corys on the other hand will decimate shrimp pellets and algae wafers. I could see them munching on those creepy looking bugs. Emerald corys get a lot bigger(.5") than peppers though if you want to try one of those instead.

I've had albino cories and false julii cories. The FJ's were timid, the albinos had a more aggressive appetite and I wouldn't put it past them to eat the scuds or pods. I'm not sure how many species are bred as albinos, but I think there is one that's most common.
