is it safe to put my fish on a diet?

HELLO FISH KEEPERS! so i have fat fish! the problem is my barbs eat every thing  so fast the little guys like the rummy nose and cherry barbs dont get very much food>

i have tried many things like feeding at opposite sides of my 4 foot tank at the same time. the barbs still eat all the food. i tried flakes and pellets still the barbs go after the flakes and the pellets just sink. so im worried that i am over feeding since my barbs are all fat very fat!! 

so i am thinking of feeding every other day  to keep my fat fish healthy. any help full hints would be help full. my rummy nose have very flat tummies

while my barbs have bulging tummies.

Yes it is safe to put fish on a diet. Sometimes it is even necessary. Obese fish do not do as well as their slim counter parts.
