I'm just wondering if there's a way i can stuff him with out over feeding so he doesn't start eating their food. They all crowd to the corner of the fish tank and begin pushing each other lol it's really funny i have to record it. Recently he started bullying them be he never attempts to eat them not even the minnows.

I'm just wondering though if him eating the fish food is bad along with the 3 pellets i feed him at night. I also feed my fish 2 times before feeding them a third time along with his food and the food for my pleco.

I don't think it's bad for him. But you should take him out of the tank while your feeding them, You don't want any extra protein or fat to add to his diet other then the food you feed him right now.

Depend on what fish food you use. If it's mainly vegetable/algae then i guess it's not that bad..

He's keep eating if turtlely possible. Some things other have tried... feeding the fish in the dark or just letting them grab some turtle food.
