I have always worried about my Celestial Tiny getting enough to eat given my greedy Bubble Eye that shares his tank.I put food in both ends of tank however Tiny still has trouble getting his mouth round food.Any Celestial owners got some advice on how to help little guy find food and eat easier.

smile.gif Hey Frazer, I'm not real sure it would work for a celestial, but I was always worried about my moor getting enough to eat, so I taught him to eat from a wide mouth medicine cup. I would soak the pellets in tank water and then feed the others and while they were eating I would offer the moor some of the pellets that I had soaked in his cup. I always knew he had enough to eat and I felt better. heartpump.gif

I may well give that try if he picks up as he isn't doing to good just now.

I guess you've already tried it, but what about dropping his food into the tank directly overhead of him so he can clearly see the food falling towards him. I would have thought that sinking pellets are better than flakes for this if you're not already using them, as they will sink pretty much where you drop them so you can control them better. You can distract Bubbles by feeding him one side of the tank while you feed tiny. I hope Tiny gets better soon smile.gif
