Feeding tricks and foods

I have Hikari Micropellets. They're pretty tiny. I'm not sure how they compare to what you're already feeding, though.

Micro pellets, I might try that.
Susan I have the mini worm sticks and tried those this morning.
Guess who glommed onto them? they are blue
Thanks both of you

Try feeding corys after lights out at night

Yes, and I have to be ultra sneaky or the little brats wake up and steal it.
I'm working ways to get enough to the bottom without poluting my tank.
Thanks Susan

They're relentless, food devouring machines.
If your girls keep stealing the food, use micro pellets and a straw (you can fit two together if need be).
Place the straw in the tank so its touching the bottom and pop the pellets in the top of the straw.
Dont have the straw angled so the pellets spill out the end easily or they'll be exposed to your blue piggies.
Try to keep the straw more upright so the pellets dont spill out of the end, the corys will have a little dig around the end of the straw to expose them

That's a clever idea and an excuse to get fast food. hehe
I decided to get rid of one of the girls. One was being a bully and I decided 3 was to many.
Hopefully with the two mellower ones I can get a handle on this feeding thing.
Tonight as luck would have it a nice bit of worms landed right by the group of Corys. They each got at least one each.
Yay!
Maybe directional feeding with the long tongs
