Redline Shrimps Stealing The Coral Food
Ok, so I have a problem. Two rogue, redline shrimps who have no manners and who steal food from the poor starving goniapora. Short of choking the redlines off, sending them to bed early or taking their toys off them, its difficult to punish them. :)
The problem is that the goni really needs to be fed. Each time I try and feed him, the two redlines, and the peppermints as well, (the band of merry thieves) jump on the goni and steal the food. I've tried putting a cut down 2L coke bottle top over the goni and that does keep the shrimps off but the problem with that is that the goni is big and the bottle, even though 2L, only fits over the goni if it is retracted.
I've tried feeding the shrimps and fish first but apparently the shrimps are starving to death and still steal anything else going. The coke bottle is too small and I don't quite know wheat else to do to let this poor goni eat in peace.
Ideas desperately welcomed before the two redlines get a cuff round their collective ears. :)
