How do I handle a fish that dominates the food supply?
What I tell people when they're feeding their fish is to feed them the food, and then step back and observe their fish. You can see if you have a bully. There's a pecking order and territorialism with all fish, so there's going to be someone who gets more food than the rest. That can become a problem if you've got such a dominating fish that he fights everybody off and he tries to eat everything, and the fish are swimming around, trying to get whatever scraps are there. If that becomes the case, rarely is it solvable, other than pulling that dominant fish out, or, the harder thing, pulling all of the other fish out. I suggest pulling the dominant fish out and either getting another one of those fish and re-introducing him later in the tank so that he isn't so dominant at that particular time.
