Firefish not getting enough food

[SlicVic]

Hi all! I have a firefish, Gomez, that isn't aggressive enough at feedings and doesn't get food! I moved him from the other tank because of the same thing! He was eating until I had to move my chromis, Hulk, into his tank(mean clown, Squiggy fights everybody!). What should I do? Ready to move Hulk back in with Squiggy! Only one other fish, my springer damsel, Aladdin, gets along with Squiggy! HELP!!

Get a breeder net and place him in there. Feed flakes, plates, and frozen food. Leave him in the breeder's net for about a week. Keep everybody well-fed to stop then picking at him. Hope this works for you.

When I added my clown pair to my tank I noticed by Striped blenny getting skinny. He aggressively feeds but his mouth is small and the frenzy began with two more fish he wasn't getting the food. Started turning all filters, wavemakers and intank skimmer off at feeding time. Fattened right back up.

As soon as I let him back in the tank, won't the same thing happen again?

Well putting the breeder net and feeding him there will fatten him up to become bigger and stronger. Or put the bullies in the breeder net or the sump for about 3 days then bring them back. My Tang kept picking at purple firefish goby and I sent him to the sump when he returned he never bothered him again
