Ove Feeding Issue

[BethK]

Having a slight over feeding issue with my female bettas

They eat EVERYTHING :shock: I'm feeding my Amano shrimp half an algae wafer a day but the girls seem to get at the most of it!

I've tried feeding the shrimp at the same time as the girls, tried blocking the girls line of sight, when I hid the food but nothing works. It's usually the same two girls who get the constant pregnant looking belly for a few hours a day.

I'm worried that it may do my bettas more harm than good at this stage and tempted not to feed the shrimp every day.

Can I get away with feeding shrimp every few days? And is there a way to stop the piggies homing in?

Feed the shrimp at night

try feeding the girls at the opposite side of the tank, otherwise after lights out as betta fish said
