Please add your location to your profile.

I also keep a group of C. virginae. Platies are no threat to Cory's and 10 gal is plenty large enough.

HI!

You shall add your location in your profile, just click to the link: http://forum.planetcatfish.com/profile. ... ditprofile

Regarding food, Corydoras are really going nuts for Bloodworms, frozen or live...

Corts are not algae eaters, although they probably do consume some naturally when crazing in algae growths for insect lavae.

Try Tetra Tabimin, 1 tablet for 4 adult fish. I have raised fry to adults on this alone.

Do not be tempted to give them to much food in one sitting, it will just be ignored.

Hi!

I must admitt that I do feed my Cories some Spirulina tabs 2-3 times a week, actually it is more for the Loricariidae that are with them.
They eat these as avidily as bloodworms. They really seems to like these as well...
