I just recently received three large Silver Dollars from my brothers teacher. However, seems like they are not getting enough to eat. The Barbs that I have with it seems to take all the food before the Silver Dollars get the chance to get its portion. Here is my current 75g tank:

2) 4-6" Tinfoil Barb
2) 3-3.5" Golden Tinfoil
2) 1-1.5" Tinfoil
2) 1" Rosey Barb
2) 4" Pleco
*** And 2 comets, not mines, my little bro, wanna take them out tho :o***

What should I do?

Boil a piece of lettuce (i use romaine) for a minute or two to soften it up and then weight it down to the bottom. The dollars should go to town on it. They love plants. Could put a couple in there so the plecos can have some too.

I've even found my dollars chewing on the algae wafers and such too.

You can try to distribute the food at different corners of the tank so that they might still find a chance to grap some food.
