Re: [GSAS-Member] Feeding the Slow with the Fast

[haika@drizzle.com]

At work we fed flake food (for the smaller fish) and Tabimin (a big pellet
food) for the large Severum (cichlid). The smaller fish couldn't handle
the big pellet food but the severum could put down 3-4 of them at a
feeding. Not sure if that will help.
