Feeding a Corydoras (Cory Catfish): the honest notes
🐾
They can't live on leftovers alone: sinking pellets or wafers every evening, dropped where they forage.
🐾
Feed after lights-out — corys are nocturnal foragers and other fish steal their food by day.
🐾
Keep sand or smooth gravel; their delicate barbels get injured on sharp substrate and can't feed properly.
These are breed tendencies, not a prescription. For the actual amount, the calculator uses your pet's real body weight and life stage — the same veterinary formula vets use.
