Hey everyone, just wondering if anyone have any suggestions...

Basically my betta girl Holly has an appetite...
So much so that she will whizz around the tank in a frenzy to get all the bits of bloodworm etc (she really doesn't care what it is as long as she can eat it)
You'd almost think she had to scavenge for food all her life!

Although my endlers are fine with getting some of the stuff before she does, my pygmy corries and dwarf frogs are having a hard time getting the food before her.
So basically she's getting fat of their food and I have to give extra so they can have some too.
This obviously isn't healthy for her though...
I don't feed them everyday (wouldn't want to think about the size of her tummy if I would do that :p )

Any of you lot got experience how to handle this?
 
I would feed the cories when the lights are out - they'll be able to find it still. ADFs are known to be hard to feed - I'd try hand feeding him with tweezers or similar. Try distracting your betta and then feed the endlers behind. I remember with my betta I had to feed him at the front of the tank, switch off the light and then feed my cories at the back of the tank in the 'dark' so that he didn't nab it :rolleyes:
