picky eater?

[aquaboy]

I have a 33 gal tank with a variety of fish inlcuding:
7 neons
3 black phantom tetras
2 corys
2 plecos
3 white clouds
4 shrimp
6 green tiger barbs

One of the phantom tetras seems to go after the food but always spits it out right away. He looks healthy, ie good colour, full fins, strong swimmer, etc. but I'm not sure if i should be worried. I feed them the regular flake food and supplements with bloodworms and spirulina flakes. My pH and ammonia all good as well.

Any suggestions?

I've seen this with fish--they hit on the flake before it's had time to absorb any water, spit it out, then go after it again. As long as the fish looks healthy, it's likely getting enough to eat. I'd watch a while and see if he does keep in food that's been in the water a bit longer.
