I have had a chinese veil tail for a few months now and it is perfectly
healthy, and recently added a new fish to the tank (of a similar size and
shape), however the new fish I think is a little younger and faster and has
a voracious appetite. I am worried that the original fish is not getting
enough food as he looks sluggish and his fins are drooping, How do I ensure
that thay both get enough food

Thanks in advance

Will they hand feed? If so try that, or get a divider and use it at feeding
times.
