feeding clowns

I know that I am supposed to feed my clowns (1.5 inches) around 5 to 6 times a day, but my top feeders (mollies) are eating at the same time (which is to much for them) so I was wondering if this feeding schedule looks good?

1st feeding brine shrimp.

2nd feeding vegetable (mollies barely bother)

3rd feeding vegetable leave in tank for 4th feeding (mollies barely bother)

5th feeding bloodworms

6th feeding vegetable leave in tank over night (mollies barely bother)

You might want to remove the Mollies. I think that is too much vegetables, not enough protein for the Clowns.

You might want to try a bit more of a variety of frozens than just bloodworm and brineshrimp, there are a wide number that are avaliable such as mysis shrimp, krill, squid, mussel, cockle, black worm, white worm, veg mix, prawn aswell as cyclops, daphnia and lobster eggs etc for smaller clowns.
