i have 2 male bettas and 2 female bettas in there now, 1 sparkling gourami, 4 ottos, and adf.

the filter is : 2 internal whisper 10i i think.
plants: 3 anaubis nana,
water level- about 5 inches of water.
1 driftwood
1 rock

i find it hard to feed this tank, b/c:

1 female betta only eats blood worms,
the sparkling gourami only eats blood worms,
the adf only eats worms,
the ottos only eat spinach,
and the other bettas eat pellets.

the tank is divided, but there is a way for the ADF and the ottos to get on the other side.

How would you feed all of the fishes as they all eat different things.

First off the tank itself is overstocked so you may wantto have a look at that. When you say divided I hope you mean that the males bettas are split up.

What do you mean by "about 5 inches of water" ? Is there only 5" in the tank or is it 5" from the top of the tank. Either way you want to have the tank filled to the top to allow swimming room.

As for food, try not to feed for a few days. Then add alittle food at a time 1x a day. This will allow the fish to get hungry and they will tend to stop being so picky with the food. You can feed all the fish some type of fish flakes. If they are hungry they will eat. Just give them time to get hungry or you will continue to have this problem.
