Hungry, hungry... guppies?
My guppies have such a voracious appetite. I keep trying to feed the bottom feeders and they eat everything I put in there? It's not like I don't feed them twice a day.

Might have to feed the bottom guys at night when the lights go out.

Is this a new game?
All kidding aside they are pigs and produce a lot of waste. Have you tried sinking tablets? They will eat these to but at least the bottom fish get a chance at something.Perfection is not attainable, but if we chase perfection we can catch excellence.

+1 the sinking tablets, the trick is to keep everyone else occupied at one end of the tank while you chuck the tablet in the other end and watch to make sure it doesn't get hijacked before it hits the bottom

+1 with all of the above. I put sinking pellets & tablets into my tank - other fish come to investigate but my cories know they are for them.

Haha, yeah I tried that and that's what got me laughing last night. I put in a fer shrimp pellets and the yuppies bullied out the shrimp ans pygmy corys. So I dropped a few more on the other end and the whole pack shifted from digging around for the scraps to the new pile. Crazy fish, fed them their flakes, then a freeze dried medley, and still ate all the pellets lol. Maybe I'll hide some under the driftwood
