Is there any way to distract my fish from eating the brine shrimp for my scooter blenny so it has a chance to get to the bottom so he can eat it.

Maybe put some of the brine shrimp in a turkey baster and squirt it around the bottom water column.

When I first got my Mandarin I didn't have a huge pod population. So I put the mandarins food into a small glass jar. The opening was too small for any of my larger fish to get into.

My Mandarin is not very bright, and it took him around 2 days to realize he couldn't peck up the food THROUGH the glass... but he did eventually get it. Anything that is left by the Mandarin would be gone by morning, no doubt the CUC at work.
