Help with feeding black mollies in a tank with other fish?

I recently got 5 black mollies and put them in my tank with some danios, gouramis, and cory cats. My problem is the mollies are kinda slow when it come to eating. When I feed the fish the dannies and gouramis go right up to the tops and start a feeding frenzy, by the time the mollies notice, the food is nearly gone. I feed them flakes and granules. The mollies don't seem to care for the granules that slowly sink, so I try to feed them more flakes but the dannies get to them again. So I guess what I am asking is how should I feed my fish so everyone gets food without the dannies eating EVERYTHING and getting very full bellies and without leaving so much food that it spikes the ammonia levels???

I use to have the same problem! I didn't have quite as many fish in one tank as you do but how I solved this problem was putting in a flake for each fish. At first I would put each flake in individually and my other fish would fight over it, but now putting them in all at once occupies each fish at once so they all get their fair share, I hope this helps!
