Favorite foods for Corydoras?
I've found my Corys react best to Omega One shrimp pellets, and TetraMin tropical Tablets "the Rich Mix"

Re: Favorite foods for Corydoras?
Corys are not generally that fussy but i would reccommend keeping their diet varied with selections of manufactured aquarium foods, flake, pellets, sticks, granules etc by whatever manufacturer you choose & also frozen live foods, brine shrimp, blood worm, daphnia etc, maybe also tetra delica which is stuff like brine shrimp in a nutritious jelly/paste & is available in handy sachets.

Re: Favorite foods for Corydoras?
I agree with Richard and add that I try to give them one day off a week from food. At first, I needed to write it all down, to keep track. But, I vary the frozen or freeze-dried foods with the dried wafers or pellet food. Then, I don't feed them on one of the days. At first, it was harder for me than them.
