Feeding Issues

[ToxicAngel]

Hi all

I recently got some corydoras (trilineatus) but Im having some trouble feeding them. I've got some sinking food that they really like and while I think they are getting enouh to survive my greedy harlequins are eating so much of it they're getting really swollen stomachs and I'm worried it could make them ill. Has anyone found a way round this?

Thanks
El

I know what you mean...
 
There's probably a much better, tried and tested way of doing this, but, all I do is feed flakes (or whatever you choose) to the top dwellers and at the same time put in the sinking food. Usually by the time the greedy ones that feed from the surface have had their fill the corys have had time to get to their pellets.

What I do to feed my cories is wait until the lights are off, then I will drop a few sinking pellets for my cories from the filter outflow, that way they go instantly at the bottom without the other fish noticing.

Great thanks guys. I'll give your suggestions a try.
