How to feed non-aggressive and aggressive eaters?

I only have two fishes so far 2 chromis and 3 firefishes. Though the firefishes are fast swimmers they are no match for the chromis when it comes to feeding time. I'm afraid the firefishes will soon starve. Any advice?

try feeding them all of the food at one time. the chriomis will not be able to eat it all at once making sure the firefish find some food as well.

Thanks chris I may have found my own answer. The blue chromis appears to like their food in smaller pieces, while the firefish will not care what size the flakes are. Giving larger size flakes will allow the firefish to eat more food while the chromis pick the flakes to smaller more preferable pieces. As for mysis shrimps and such.... well I'll have to think of something else.
