Over eating

Post by JoJo »

Aloha all, I am new to the forum and have not seen this question asked. I have three dwarf / pea puffers in my 20 gallon heavily planted tank. One, Miss Piggy, is getting obese, if there is a speck of food to be found, or a snail in hiding, she finds it. At any given time she looks as thou she swallowed a small marble. Her tank mates of the same age are half her size, they are unfortunately both males. All are about 9 months old. While the boys are somewhat shy, Miss Piggy is front and center always begging. I think she has now found she likes shrimp as well. How can I put her on a diet without the boys suffering, or should I not worry about it.
There are two panda corys, and 4 pygmy corys also as tank mates, besides the shrimp.
