Feeding Worries

[acula]

Im a bit concerned that my Betta isnt getting enough food. I only have one tank atm and he's sharing with 9 tetras... at feeding time they're so much quicker and with better eyesight than him he doesnt stand a chance.

Has anyone got any tips for me?

or is there a food that only Betta's will eat and not Tetras?

hmm.
does she look like she's not hungry or is she trying to gt to the food as quickly as she can but the tetras get there before her?
that's hard.
have you got another tank maybe you can put her in there for a while?
so she can have the food to herself?
or..
get a divider and seperate the betta and the tetras?
or..
maybe leave it and see how it goes..

(don't just listen to me though.. there could be easier ways than this..)

just see what everyone else thinks.

Hi
Need to know a few basics first -
What Tetras are they?
How long have they been together?
What size is the tank?

The Tetras are 5 Neons and 4 Orange (im sorry i dont know exactly their names)
They've been together for a week, they leave each other alone and get on fine
The tank is an Aqua Start 320 (5 gallon i belive)

At feeding time he acts like he's not really bothered, but ive had him for a few days now, surely he must be hungry.
Plus the Tetras have learnt the when i lift the lid its feeding time and they swarm to the top, he hasnt figured it out yet
