The other fish would grab all the food, and he just gave up trying to compete with them. Luckily, though, I had a mature tank, and he scrounged pods and stuff in the live rock. I actually had him for about 2 months, but I could see him losing weight, so I decided to take him back. I did not have a separate quarantine tank at that time.

After that I tried again with two more, but this time I went the QT route and got them feeding and healthy. I sold one (they didn't get along together) and the other is still alive and well today in my display tank.

I explained this to you a couple times now....

Yup. Still a loss.
