need advice on how to fish african cichlids in an overcrowed community tank.

[crunch7]

So I have a 75 gallon 4.5 Ft long tank with some 25 cichlids in it. I have lately seen that few fish end up eating all the food I have given since they are faster and more dominant. Could anyone share their advice how they deal with such a case, few of my fish are starving and few are having bloated stomach if I try to add extra food so that the smaller and less dominant can get some.

What are you feeding them? I find that if I have two different sized pellets that sink/float at different rates the food is distributed more evenly. I also add the food right by the filter output so the food is spread pretty evenly throughout the tank.

Tossing is a couple slices of squash or cucumber is a nice treat and the dominant fish can't guard all the slices at once.
