I feed my fish once a day ,what they can eat in 4-5 minutes. Just got 6 cories yesterday and dropped in 2 hikari wafers for them ,problem is once the other fish were done eating there flakes they rushed down to the wafers and stole them from the cories. Will I have to feed these guys at night? Is that ok because these guys are so passive and just let the other fish take over. Even my cherry barbs are their food and they dont even eat much. I have 3 platies,4 mollies ,6 cherry barbs ,5 bloodfin tetras and 5 zebra danios. The barbs ,platies and mollies were really being bullies. Do any of you guys have this problem? BTW seems as if most of the fish are fighting over the wafers. Looks like a huge problem

I have the same problem. What I do is I drop in small amounts of flake food in one corner to keep the fish eating at water level. I always use the same side or corner of the tank to do this. I then take flake food on 10" tweezers and drop the food as close to the substrate as possible so it will sink quickly on the opposite side of the tank. My cories have become conditioned to head for the opposite side of the tank when the feeding frenzy of the other fish start. As long as I keep putting in a little bit of flakes for the other fish that will keep them distracted at water level long enough to let the cories eat. I only put in wafers or food specifically designed for cories after dark and I rarely do this as they get plenty to eat using this method.
