after every feeding my blue dolpin goes crazy and chases all my fish around for about 10-15 min then he calms down after awhile. Is this strange? Is this what the dom fish will do? Most the time it only happons after a feeding

It's not uncommon. If he's fine the rest of the time, then your okay. If he starts harassing 100% of the time, you'll need to remove him or try to altering your stocking.
You may have to feed your fish at both ends of tank. Feed at one end, let the dolphin have his way. Then immediately put food at the other end, to allow the weaker fish access to food.
Good luck.

My mbuna always get really aggressive during feeding time. I feed a pinch of pellets first so the big aggressive fish get their mouths all full. Then I add a pinch of veggies flakes. The fish that grabbed the pellets first have their mouths too full to get the flakes so the rest of the fish are able to grab the flakes.
I love feeding time because they show some awesome color and my catfish come out

My f0 hansbaenschi does the same thing after every feeding but its only chasing for about 5 minutes. The rest of the time he's chilled, no torn fins or any bullying whatsoever.
Like alex said, just a display of dominance
