Hey Everyone,
I have 5 trilineatus (false Julii) and am really having a hard time making sure they get fed properly. I'd like to raise the school to 12 but as it stands now idk if it's in their best interests. My problem is that my other fish are just far more aggressive when it comes to feeding. My serpaes and red eyes can pick up large pellets or wafers and just swim in circles above them. My amano shrimp also like to steal anything that hits the ground and run off with it. I've tried feeding blood worms but nothing ever hits the ground, and when I place them directly on the substrate all other fish just come to the bottom anyways. Any suggestions?? Would a larger school help them posture a little bit, or would I just be spreading their already meager rations?
