    hahaha that's funny, what do you feed them, i can't seem to get them to eat, i'm always stuck with picky eaters. I first tried the tetra flakes which both my tetra's and marigold hated them, then i tried the betta bite pelletes that i had, i saw them going to eat them, then spit it out

    Tetras eat anything that will fit in their mouths.... mine LOVE when I feed frozen bloodworms.... mine eat that, the dry food (flake & granule) and even eat the live blackworms I feed the Discus.

    Agree with the loving frozen bloodworms (I think just about everybody in my tank gets a smile on their face when they get plopped in).

    Honestly bloodworms are GREAT for the corys.... Corys are omnivorous and require protein based foods like bloodworms... but I am sure they are also eating some of the flake food that you feed the tetras

    I feed Bloodworms daily to my Discus tank! Because of the number of fish they get 2 dimple tabs of bloodworms per day and another feeding of flake/granule food. Also I feed Live Blackworms in there about 2-3 days a week.

    My Corys and Tetras love ALL of those foods.... that tank actually gets NO algae wafers.... I dont even keep that as a food anymore!
