I have too much flow in my tank and my mandarin is alot slow at the dinner table so when I tried the turkey baster method the mysis would just cruise by my mandarin and my 2 clownfish, 2 cleaner shrimp and my peppermint shrimp and would hastily gobble it up while the mandarin was busy eyeballing and deciding how exactly to attack the meal at hand.
I bought a piece of that 3/4" diameter thin clear plastic aquarium tubing. I put the mysis in the tube and use a baster to force the mysis down to the bottom. I let the tube rest on the sand and when the mysis starts to settle lift the edge up so my mandarine can reach underneath and he gets to eat all he wants. It is at the point now that as soon as the tube is in the water he swims right over and will now even swim up the tube while the mysis is drifting down and eat. This way he does not compete with my clowns whom quickly caught on to the feeding tube and hover around the base of the tube sharing the spoils with the mandarin. At least they relentlessly chase all 3 shrimp out of the area if they get near the tube
