Cories and Rams as feeders?

Thanks for the input. I didn't think it was a good idea. Gonna try and find somone who has good use for them.

Cories have spines on there back, same with Rams.
I wouldnt do it.

Just sell them, I would.

really. I bet your LFS would take them in exchange for some proper feeders, or some fish food.

If you don't want to sell them, just ask your LFS to take them as trade for some proper feeders. Just my 2 cents.

I agree with you.
The idea of Rams as feeders really bugs me for two reasons. One, they are impossible to find. They are my favorite fish in my tropical tank. I only have 2 because I can't get anymore. I call all of my lfs every week looking for more with no luck. The second reason is the 2 I do have cost me $6 for the regular and $8 for the long fin. Why would you use a $6 fish as a feeder? If you don't want them trade them for feeders as the other poster said or put them on craigslist and sell the for a few $$ and go buy some feeders.

I totally just repeated that word for word. sorry. Its a coicidence, I swear. I didn't read the entire thread.

but that answer does seem like common sense.

you could probably get 10 feeders for each cory and ram.

Good idea.
The cories would likely kill something, or at the very least, you'd have it stuck in somethings mouth.

Several species of corydoras actually are poisonous, as well.

Cories have spines.

Besides, they are very cute.

If I were near your place, vanimate, I would have obtained them from you.
