I have 8 discus in 100g tank. The tanks conditions are ideal. When I feed them 2 of them eat most of the food and try and keep the others from eating. There getting bigger faster than the others. There fed bloodworms, beefheart, and brine shrimp. Am I underfeeding them and thats why there fighting for food? Or is this sort of normal? Thanks Robert.

try feeding from both ends of the tank so all the fish get a chance to eat.

do like illusn said and feed several pieces of food at different spots in the tank but you will have dominant fish that will tend to eat more and get bigger than others thats common
