How to feed

I currently have one tri color fairy wrasse, one fire shrimp, a cuc, 2 pep shrimps, and an engineer goby. I was just recently putting 1/8 mysis (or brine shrimp) cube every morning and night onto the powerhead and letting it spray all over the tank for everyone. Now the wrasse just sits in front of the powerhead and eats it all.... I would rather not have to target feed the goby because he gets nothing but if i have to I will. I was wondering if there was a way you guys feed the whole tank without one fish getting it all.

 

I let my cube melt in a little cup of tank water then squirt half on one side and half on the other side of the tank with a turkey baster. Sometimes shoot some at my CBS to watch him go nuts.

 

i would turn off the powerhead when you feed and yes the goby should get some food as well. try some pellets near his burrow. make sure not to overfeed. my rule of thumb is to feed what the fish can consume in under a couple minutes

 

I agree, never overfeed but make sure that your gobie gets enough... used a turkey baster before and worked very well... but if you feed too much, watch your nitrates and ammonia levels, check every other day.... at least that's what I do...

 

thanks its working
