The blue reef chromis have inter-species aggression issues; breaking up feeding into several small feedings through out the day may prevent them from fighting. In nature fish do not eat one large meal a day; most fish continuously forage and hunt for food. If food is not available for a prolonged period of time, even though enough food is available over time, it is reasonable that there could be resulting behavior changes like increased aggression.
