This situation is kinda nuts, but I have been using Easy Masstick for over a year now -- I roll a piece into a ball and stick it towards the top of the tank for the fish. Sometimes the cleaner shrimp climbs up and takes some but otherwise nbd. I must have a very fresh new batch that I just opened or something b/c suddenly as soon as I stick it on the glass, every single nassarius in the tank is climbing the wall after it. I am on constant Nass patrol to knock them off the glass before they get to it, but eventually I have to start working for my job and while I'm at my desk w/my back to the tank one or more make it to the food and just ruin it all, eating it and snotting it up. The fish seem timid and don't push them away. So feel like I'm essentially feeding Nassaruius snails every morning now, and I'm pretty upset about it.
Any ideas on what I might be able to do to stop this? I'd like my fish to be getting their food w/o me having to police it every morning (which can also scare the fish off b/c I'm hovering).
