Do I Lose My Tiger Barbs?

[bullit]

I have the following

2 FM
1 Geo
1 Chromide
1 blue eyed
6 tiger barbs

Basically im pondering whether to get rid of my barbs, mainly for the fact as they seem to eat everything. Ill put their food in and it looks like they are getting most of it. The barbs are all growing well but I dont want to overfeed them either but my ciclids seem to be left wanting. any ideas?, plus id like my ciclids to grow more.

I kept tigers once, greedy little devils. I dont bother with "dithers" for my cichlids more trouble than they are worth in my opinion.

Same reason I got rid of my rummy noses, pinch all the food as they're too quick for the cichlids.

get a larger sized food for the cichlids?

suggestions? i feed flakes, bloodworms and shrimp. All the ciclids are quite small still. maybe something that sinks?

You can get sinking bloodworm and algae and plec pellets on Ebay which dissolve slowly and are too big for most smaller fish to swallow so every fish gets a chance to nibble at them, I use them in my tanks.
