Hello all. I have 4 green & 4 tiger barbs along with several lemon tatras & harlequin rasboras in a 120 litre tank.
My question is ... when I feed the barbs basically snaffle all the food (it seems!!). How can I try & ensure/help all my fish to get some food without over feeding the greedy barbs?!
Any/all advice greatly appeceited! .

Don't worry about overfeeding unless there is some food left after several minutes. If the barbs keep right on eating, so be it. Let them eat until they explode. If the other fish are not competing well, they will still get plenty of food if there is plenty to eat for several minutes and they can reach it.
