Hotel Kitchen

I have extended the food range in the hotel's kitchen to cater for the Leopard Cories (Corydoras julii). I now also use TetraPrima at feeding time, which is a slow sinking granular food. The Danios love to grab the granules as they sink down, but as the granules are still dry, they are quickly spat out. Once the granules have been sitting on the bottom for a while, they become soft enough to eat. As the Cories make their rounds they find the granules which they appear to suck up as they hover above them. Occasionally the Danios will find the soft granules before the Cories do, leaving them going hungry for the evening. I am hoping to get some live food at some point, but that will be later when the hotel has a few more guests.
