In my large tank, I have 3 fantails and a Black Moor. I feed them daily with general flake food. However, because apparently Black Moors have bad eyesight. It often doesn't realise that there is food floating. So what generally happens is the other goldfish eat all the food before the Black Moor has a chance of realising. Is it possible to monitor how much each fish is getting. Should I use sinking pellets or separate them?

A sinking pellet added to the feeding might really help. Once the others are pigging out of the floating stuff, add the pellets for the moor to find. The idea of live and frozen foods would be a good thing to try as well, but for goldfish I would take it a step further and also feed green leafy veggies like spinach and lettuce. You can weight to down so that it will be on the bottom or buy a feeding clip at the pet store that will hang it from the glass. They will munch on this stuff throughout the day and eventually the moor will get a turn at it.

That is the problem with keeping black moore's and lionheads. They are slow swimmers with poor eyesite. Feeding your goldfish green veggies, peas, lettuce, greenbeans etc is great for their diets, also oranges.
Veggie Clips are great for slower moving fish.
Unfortunately there is no way to monitor what each fish gets.
Try the clip and hope he finds it!
Good luck

Use live or frozen food. Daphne, brine shrip and bloodworms can be put in. (not all at once) I like watching my fish eat the live stuff and they all get a chance at a nibble.
