Making sure everyone gets enough (but not TOO MUCH) food!

So, I'm having a little bit of a dilemma during feeding time. All of my top feeder fish are OVER eating & I'm not sure my Loaches & Pleco are getting enough food. I use bottom sinking pellets which seem to keep the top feeders (tetras, guppies, & molly) away & give my bottom feeders a chance to eat, but when I use blood worms or brine shrimp those top guys eat them to the point of dangerous looking bloating. Does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks!

If you are feeding any dry food soak it before adding it to the tank then load up a syringe or turkey baster and squirt the wet food into caves and under driftwood, wherever the bottom feeding fish hang out. Put some dry on the surface for the upper level fish. (but not TOO MUCH) :wink:
