I have a kissing gourami that I bought a few days ago. He seems to be swimming around normally and all, but feeding seems to be a problem. When I feed my tank, all my barbs crowd around greedily and gobble up the food. My blue gouramis were shy at first, but they soon gave the barbs a run for their money, and now they go up and gobble just as fast. The kissing gourami eithre ignores the food entirely, or he goes up to the area and kisses the surface, like he's checking it out. By the time he's done this, the food is gone. Every time. I don't want to overfeed my other fish while trying to get at him. Help?
I have the kisser plus 6 tiger barbs, 5 gold barbs, 2 blue gouramis, 4 corys, and 1 synodontis catfish. Are these incompatible with the kisser? I've had kisisng gouramis in the past (they're my favorite fish, actually), and I don't remember this being a problem. I keep reading that kissers are really aggressive, but all the ones I've ever had were pretty shy!
