My SD's Eat all the food

[Stix87]

Hellow everyone, as some of you know i have 2 tiger angels and 2 silver dollars. When it comes time for feeding, no matter what i feed the silvers eat almost EVERYTHING. Their ALOT fast than the angels, at 1st the angels were bigger and the silvers where still shy so they'de both get ample food. Now the silvers have grown SOOOO much that in about 2-4 weeks they'll be the same size as the angels. As of now the angels barley get food.

I have tryed the followi
FEEDING 2-3 TIMES A DAY: Failed The SD's still eat all the food.
FEEDING AT SEPERATE PARTS OF THE TANK: Failed. The SD's are super fast and eat their portion and the angels portions.
COMBINATION OF THE TOP TWO: Failed. This is why the SD's are growing sooooooooo much, they eat like pigs.

Ideas:
Buying a divider to make to sections to the tank. In doing this i can feed the angels more and the silvers less do more % water changes and this will contribute to the growth of the angels, later taking out the divider.
Any that you all may post will help and most likely be tried...

giving one of the two kinds isnt really an option but thats my last resort

Just buy a piece of plactic grid and use it to seperate them during feeding time.

There are more kinds of incompatability than the territorial aggression that most folks consider. Feeding incompatability is like more common, but most folks don't recognise it.

I would separate the fish. You cannot change human or fish nature, deal with it instead.
