If you just have one corn, you could feed it inside the tank. Just wait 1 day before & 1 day after to handle it so you do not invoke/associate a feeding response w/handling. Also, handle it often enough so that the corn will not think whenever its tank is opened he'll be fed. Some people w/2 corns in an enclosure will put them in something else to feed them seperately and keep them seperated for 1 full day before putting them back together.

I prefer to feed mine in separate containers. I just put them back when they are done.
It makes it easier to keep track of that way.
It doesn't hurt to handle them gently after feeding.
