I have a siamese algae eater with blood parrots and the SAE doesn't have a chance at eating because the BP keep hogging the wafers. Is there a way I can concentrate feeding towards the SAE? There isn't much algae in the tank glass btw, the tank is pretty new

Crush up some flake and place in the flow of your hob if your running one and it will push it to the bottom, the crushed up flake will be small enough that the parrots shouldn't bother with it.

considering it's an algae eater, they often eat algae and mulm. Another option might be to offer some zucchini- a slice of it that all the fish can pick at perhaps.

Yes this worked more or less. The stupid parrots keep eating them before their even reach the bottom lol
