How Do You Feed Your Fish Equally?

[J4G3D]

As title says

i have a ongoing battle of feeding my dwarf gouramis and cardinal tetras

The angelfish get all the food and sometimes i cannot see some of the fish eat for days on end due to the greedy angelfish

How do you feed yours equally??

You could try some sinking food while distracting the angels with floating?

Could do..

I just tried something else right now, i put a peice of flake into my hand and put it directly above the shy gourami and tetras. They managed to get there first JUST ABOUT.

I bought some cheap plastic pipettes off ebay because i have a similar problem.

Suck up some food in the dropper and redirect it towards the shyer fish. Works for me.

Well different fishes feed at different levels of the water. Depends what type of mouths they have. Some primarily eat at the top, middle, bottom. I suggest getting some pellets or waffers. I use a combination of flakes, pellets, and waffers. While i feed my gouramies some flakes i drop some hikari micro waffers on the other side of the tank and my cardinal tetras go and eat them since my gouramies usually eat everything if i dont do this. Finding a way to distract them and feed the others at that given time is the best option in my opinion.

Use different size food. Angels will always go for the biggest so I feed flake and prima but crush both between my sfingers for the smaller fish. I also use Hikari micro pellets which sink slowly and are too small to be of interest to the angels, whatever reaches the bottom is picked up by the bottom feeders. My tatras have grown so they must be doing ok
