My community tank is home to different fishies that eat different things. Betta eats betta food, sailfins, platties and danios eat flakes, pleco eats veggies, clowns and dragons eat frozen food and corys whatever's left (and there's always enough for them :nod: ) The problem is that when I feed the frozen food with a baster right down the bottom of the tank - all the others leave their food and go for the frozens. Surely so much frozen can't be good for all of them. I've tried just flakes, but the clowns and dragons aren't interested at all. I've tried feeding the flakes first so that the flake eaters aren't hungry when I put the frozens in, in fact, I;'ve tried every combination possible but still haven't found a solution. What do others do when they have different eaters in the same tank?
 
I have found that if you feed a free floating live food like daphnia or glassworm at the same time as bloodworm the surface and midwater dwellers will become pre occupied chasing the floating food around and leave the bloodworm alone,you cant blame them for all wanting bloodworm,what would you prefer bran flakes or steak? :lol: :lol:
