Featherdusters not doing well.

I added 3 fairly large featherdusters to my 125 FOWLR set-up about 3 weeks ago. I drip acclimated them when they arrived from SWF and they looked great at first. I add one tablespoon of "PhytoFeast" to the water daily. Sometimes I try to spot feed through a long syringe, but most of the time I just pour it in. All 3 have good open spots atop rocks and there's plenty of water circlulation. Thye are each securely placed in holes. One seems to be doing well - his feathers are out very often. The next seems to be doing poorly - his feathers comes out partially and infrequently. The third seems not to be coming out at all. Anything I can do to improve their chances? Any help will be appreciated.
