feeding trigger issue
I have a rabbit fish, humu and queen trigger. I am running into a problem because the queen eats so much that the other fish aren't getting enough food. Atm I am feeding the tank 5 cubes each of mysis mixed with nori (or was it spirolina) and form 1. The queen gorges herself so much that she looks as though her stomach is about to explode. Is feeding my queen this much food unhealthy for her?
and any suggestions how to feed the humu. After about 10 cubes, the queen just takes the food and spits it out and then the humu gets only some food.

feeding
I have quite a few triggers in my tank and I always make sure that I soak the cubes in water before putting them in the tank so the mysis shrimp will go all over the tank with the currents,and I will break up the formula one with my fingers also I also feed them clams on the half shell, silversides, whole shrimp that I break in half and large krill, also try feeding on both sides of your tank at the same time to spread things out

I have to hand feed my hawaiian black trigger. My vlamingii will out compete him for food every time. I've also had to work at getting my whitecheek food by putting in nori, krill, and pellets at the same time to distract the vlamingii at the other end of the tank.

Try making a feeding divider to separate the Queen out at feeding time. A little creativity with eggcrate should do the trick
