im somewhat angry with my goldies at the moment.. they are going to great lengths to get hold of my bristlenoses algae wafers.. i even built a cave with a tiny entrance which the plec can only just get in.. they still manage to eat his dinner! they even sacrifice their own scales for a munch on the wafer.. mouschi's missing one. and tuesday's got a hole in her slime...
the lengths goldfish will go for a mouthfull of food eh

wow...your fish must like those wafers....have you thought about feeding them spirilina flakes?

to feed catfish its best to do it at night when the lights are off and the goldies are sleeping. the catfish are more active through the night and will find any wafers dropped in.

I had the same problem. Someone suggested to me that I feed the fish and throw the wafer into a corner where the plec likes to be. Thataway the fishies will be distracted and he can chow down! I hope that will work. It works for me.

MINE NEVER SLEEP! i swear they watch me like "is she up yet? food?!?! DARN!"

dont be upset at your goldies hehe

Sorta like goats, they only feel that anything in the tank can be tought as food. If it dosent taste good they spit it out. garbage guts!

ive done everything i swear.. i do it wen the lights are of and i think they are asleep.. i recon they smell the food.
i made the little cave even littler i put anything i could find in the way of the entrace.. i got desperate last night so i put in the lid bit of a coner box filter.. with the little hole in the top for the outlet tube? and tuesday managed to get in there eat half the wafer get stuck and then get out through the little hole!!! people should never underestimate the power of a goldfish! houdinies!
