Athena, my -FAT- ryukin who seems to be growing like a weed, will not leave the algae wafers that I place in for my Otocinclus alone. I mean, I don't mind too much, but I believe my little guy does. There's some algae around the tank, but certainly not enough to sustain a growing fish, or atleast I would think. Either way, I feel her pecking at his untouched wafers is not beneficial to either of them. I give her small meals throughout the day with orange, kale, or peas as her evening snack and I'm afraid that her eating his food will make her bloated or constipated.
So, I think I may begin hiding his food in the middle of the amazon sword which she can no longer fit into. The tank is very planted... so I figure I should be able to find somewhere to hide his food; I could break up the food and hide it too, I suppose. Anyways. Anyone dealt with this problem? I just got my little algae eater, so, I'm new to how to feed him whilst evading ever hungry goldies.
Thanks in advance!
