Recently I acquired four Peppered Corydoras and have the in my 29 Gallon a long with 6 Bloodfin Tetra, an Opaline Gourami, a Red Tail Shark, and a Kulie Loach.. yes I know a pretty decent Bio-Load but I have plants and keep up with water changes regularly. Anyway that's not the problem.
The problem I have is feeding. I have Shrimp Pellets and Algae wafers for the bottom feeders a long with some other stuff. Anyway the problem I'm having is when I drop the algae wafers in the Gourami and the Tetras go into a feeding frenzy and take the wafer and toss it around not letting the bottom feeders get a shot at it. It looks like a huge dog pile of tetra, catfish and a big gourami it's crazy.
Now I'm trying to make sure my bottom feeders are eating right.... So I attempted to feed flake on the surface at the other side of the tank so that the other fish would go for that while I sneak the algae wafer in... didn't work they finish the flake and make a bee line straight for the wafer even before the bottom feeders can find it.
Anyone have any advice I'm out of ideas.
