I have a 120litre fish tank with 3 mollies, 3 guppies and a siamese fighting fish...the problem is when i do a feed the mollies and guppies tend to eat all the food and i'm worried my siamese isn't getting a chance....he likes to lurk at the bottom where the artificial plants and caves are... how should i make sure he gets fed :(
 
Siamese fighting fish or bettas as they are also called are slow swimmers.So its normal for them to be outrunned by other fish when it concerns to food.
I had those fishs you say together and my betta never starved, some of the food ends up in the substrate and he is bound to get some. If you think he is actually not getting to the food in time, try to put some food on one side of the tank for the others and some on the other side just for him.
But very small amounts,overfeeding causes the loss in water quality.
Also does your fish stays on the corner ignoring the food completely?Or he just can't make it there in time?
Because not wanting to eat might be a symptom something is wrong with him.
