    hello in my tank i have a school of blue green chromis and they are little pigs, and they always patrol the top of the tank for food. when i feed my tank they eat all the food before it has a chance to reach my tomato clown who tends stay around the bottom of the tank. he is starting to look skinny is there any way i could get food to him.
    also he is not sick or anything he just rarely swims in open water.
    thanks

    target feed. Get a syringe, connect a small piece of flexible airline tubing to that, then connect a long piece of rigid airline tubing.

    Or get rid of some of your chromis.

    Now I know what you and Shin did!

    In all seriousness a turkey Bastet would fix all this. Or feed on both ends of the tank
