Hi everyone,
I recently added newcomers to my 20gal freshwater planted tank. Among them are 3 sunburst platies and 3 danios. Everyone is lively and exploring the tank to their heart's content. The problem is that compared to the danios and the existing diamond tetras, my platies swim much slower so when it's time to feed them, the platies don't get any food because the others have snatched it all up. I've got lots of plants in the tank, so I know they can at least munch on those for the time being, but I'd really like a solution to this dilemma - I don't want them to be malnourished.
Your insight and advice is much appreciated!
