Hi all i just wanted to ask if its normal for my fish to fight for food even though they get plenty?
My GOld Saum will only eat live mealworms (new addition to the tank), so he fights for every one of them. My bichirs naturally love them as well. So what happens is when the Gold Saum grabs a mealworms the bichirs come and try to enter his mouth while he chews! No one gets hurt, and at the end of the day everyone gets a mealworm.
Just to add, i also feed them beef heart, shrimp, peas, alage waffles and (most of their diet) they will munch on cichlid pellets (hikari and omega one) intended for the Gold Saum. They eat all of this calmly, but once i add mealworms its like a marathon lol
