Food competition problems

A tank divider may work as well. However if you have a comet type and 2
fancy types, mtl there will never be parity; at least in an undivided tank

I'm still new to keeping goldfish, but I wonder if maybe your bigger
fish is bullying the others because he wants more than 3 pellets? I have
read that the general rule on feeding is to give them enough food that
can be consumed in 3 minutes.

It seems to me that 3 pellets would be consumed fairly quickly by a 3
inch goldfish. Maybe a good method would be to measure out the food not
by counting the number of pellets, but in "pinches" of food.

feed em at night. maybe the other two cannot see as well. Ingrid
