Excerpt :

When fish food is added to an aquarium it should be thoroughly dispersed throughout the aquarium.

It is important that food be distributed widely in the water flow of the tropical fish aquarium and not just put in as a large clump. This is especially true with cichlids. If food is put in as a clump one dominant fish can monopolize the clump and not allow others a lot of access to the food. This is the reason one juvenile fish in an aquarium can grow much faster than the other juvenile fish.
