Question
i have resently got two fish, one a fantail and one black moore, when feeding them the fantail eats the food that i put in leaving none left for the black moore. the black moore is a very sleepy fish it just seems to float about happly, where as the fantail is always swimming around considently. how do i get the black moore to eat, without the fantail rudly stealing it?
thanks for you help.  

Answer
Are you using flakes, floating pellets, or sinking pellets? Try getting some floating pellets and some sinking pellets. That way you'll give the slower and more easy going fish a chance to eat. If he still doesn't perk up but doesn't get sick he may just not need to eat alot.
