    You have to feed them sinking tablets or pellets designed for Catfish in particular. I used to feed my Corydoras with Tetra Tabimin/Sera Viformo/Sera O-Nip among other things. The occasional treat of live BBS/Moina/Tubifex/Bloodworms will make them happy. Just understand that there are risks involved with feeding live foods. Some are very picky on what you feed them, so you have to try different types of foods.

    I have 6 c.habrosus in my tank and I am feeding them Hikari Tropical Sinking Wafers. They accept the wafer readily. Usually only feed half a wafer each time since I have only 6 in my tank.

    i have 6 of them in a 1ft cube tank. believe they do better in bigger groups. mine just nibbles at the wafer till it softens and breaks down, they will then finish it up.

    Hi wrongwroks,

    I suggest that you add a small piece of driftwood into your tank. It will make your tank look more natural, and your dwarf cory happier, hence improving their overall well-being and appetite. Cheers.
