my red wag platties are huge...
they are getting soooooooooo fat...

trouble is that they score ALL the food as it goes in...
they slurp up the flakes at the top...
snaffle the bloodworms as they sink...
and snuffle up the sinking food meant for the cories...

how can i get food past these guys...
they are getting massive ...

ROTFL!!! When I have greedies, I usually distract them with a little bit of something in a corner, then move around where I drop in anything else. Platties are usually greedy but a wee bit dim.

I soak variety wafers in aquarium water for a few minutes then drop them in for the cories. Then i slowly feed the greedy guppies and platies while the bottom feeders eat. It has worked 80% of the time. Once or twice a week i put extra frozen BBS and bloodworms in before i do a water change. Everybody eats good on those days.

Cories stay active at night, but platies don't. So, you can always drop in some sinking food after lights-out for the cories. Sinking shrimp pellets are usually popular with cories and loaches.
