I have 2 damsels in a qt one of the damsels is shy
and whenever i go to feed them he hides and doesn't see the food and the other damsel gobbles it up. How could i feed the little guy <img src="graemlins//confused.gif" border="0" alt="[confused]" />

what and how are you feeding them?
if you are using frozen or fresh foods, you could try using a turkey baster to give some almost directly fo him, th only problem ther is he may get used to feeding in this way, but i find it no hassle, if it means the fish are eating
haow are your water parametes?

we have same problem, try pushing the food down in the water and moving it around. some may fall to the bottom at least the other one has a better chance.
Or you could try feeding them at two different ends of the tank at the same time. I'd try moving the food around and pushing down with your fingers.
Good luck! it's frusteration when one eats all the food. at least you pay attention and caught it.
