My neons are like miniature great white sharks in a feeding frenzy when it comes to feeding time. They sure do not get bullied out of the way and can hold their own very well. They are not picky about whats being fed either. MIne eat anything. Often times they grab ahold of a large piece of shrimp or mussle etc and starat to shake and roll around with it trying to tear off bite sized pieces they can handle.......Lot of times they simply lay on the live rock or corals etc, or can be found busy on the tank sides. They are trouble free, and also love to clean on other fish as well, so they are a good benefit in more ways than one.
