Kat’s Aquatics Cory Crumbles – 3.5 oz
Kat’s Aquatics Cory Crumbles are a high-protein sinking food designed specifically for Corydoras and other bottom-feeding aquarium fish.
Unlike a traditional wafer that concentrates fish in one feeding spot, Cory Crumbles are designed to be broken apart and scattered throughout the aquarium. This creates multiple feeding areas and encourages natural searching, sifting, and foraging behavior across the substrate.

Designed for Natural Foraging
Corydoras naturally spend much of their time searching and sifting through the substrate for food.
Cory Crumbles are designed to support this behavior by breaking into a variety of different-sized pieces that spread throughout the aquarium.
Instead of every fish competing around one wafer, multiple fish can search different areas of the tank for food.
Great for Bottom Feeders
Although formulated with Corydoras in mind, Cory Crumbles can also be used for a variety of omnivorous bottom-feeding aquarium fish.
Suitable fish may include:
- Corydoras
- Plecos
- Loaches
- Other omnivorous catfish
- Other bottom-feeding freshwater fish
High-Protein Formula
Cory Crumbles feature a protein-rich formula built around wild-caught fish meal and several additional animal-based ingredients.
Protein ingredients include:
- Wild-caught fish meal
- Black soldier fly larvae
- Krill
- Egg
- Brewer’s yeast
This combination provides a varied source of animal-based nutrition for omnivorous bottom feeders.
Plant-Based Ingredients
The formula also includes plant ingredients to provide additional nutritional diversity.
Plant-based ingredients include:
- Alfalfa
- Kelp
- Spirulina
This combination of animal and plant-based ingredients makes Cory Crumbles well suited for omnivorous Corydoras and similar bottom-dwelling species.
How to Feed
Hold one Cory Crumble over the aquarium and gently break it apart between your fingers.
Scatter the pieces across several areas of the tank so fish can search and forage throughout the substrate.
- Break one crumble into multiple pieces
- Scatter pieces across several areas of the aquarium
- Adjust portion size based on the number and size of fish
- Feed only what your fish can consume within a few hours
- Remove uneaten food if necessary
The crumble format naturally creates both larger chunks and smaller pieces, allowing fish of different sizes to feed more comfortably.
Why Scatter Feeding?
Traditional sinking wafers can cause multiple bottom feeders to crowd around a single piece of food.
Scatter feeding helps distribute food throughout the aquarium and may help reduce:
- Competition around food
- Crowding in one feeding area
- Dominant fish preventing smaller fish from eating
It also encourages fish to spend more time displaying natural searching and foraging behavior.
Ideal for Corydoras
Corydoras are active bottom feeders that naturally sift through sand and substrate while searching for food.
The varied sizes produced when Cory Crumbles are broken apart allow small food particles to settle between plants, rocks, and substrate where Corydoras can actively search for them.
Handmade in the USA
Kat’s Aquatics Cory Crumbles are biologist-formulated and handmade in the USA.
The handmade crumble format intentionally creates pieces of different sizes rather than producing identical pellets or wafers.
