I've posted some of this background info before, but here it is again. I have a couple new questions about it. I apologize in advance for the novel.
I got a 6" tat probably a month or so ago, maybe a little more, and it's gone through lots of hardships. I had it in my 210 (well, it was a 125 back then but with the same inhabitants) and it lost its right eye and had its caudal fin torn to shreds by the ornate. So, I put it in a divided 55g for a while, but the time came where I needed the 55g for something else. That led me to try it in the now 210. The next day, it had a torn tail again, so I took it out and put it in my other 55 w/ a 5" jardini, marbled goby and black lancer catfish. The jardini was so stressed out by it (still skittish) that it threw a couple scales and had a couple torn fins. So, I had to take it out and the only place for it was by itself in a 10-gallon tank. I'd really like to get it into a larger tank, but I have no more options as my other tanks have fish that are too small and would get eaten.
The other problem is that I still cannot get it off of live food. If I put anything in there, it just ignores it. Do you think it's a lost cause and I should get rid of it or should I divide the 55 w/ the jar, etc. and put it in there and see if the jar still stresses out? I think it's a really cool fish, but it's pretty boring even by the standards of the fish I have (i.e. lazy lapradei). I have an AC110 and Penguin 350 in the 55, so there is quite a bit more current. Maybe that will help it to eat some FD krill or something as it would make it look like it has some life. I'm pretty sure it would do okay in the 210 if I got it up to about the size of the other fish, but getting it there is the problem. I am planning on swapping out the 55 for a 75, but that probably won't help this situation that much.
edit: I forgot to mention that it's tail has fully grown back, but hasn't gotten the red back in the areas it wasn't messed up (which is most of it)

. the black lancer was swimming over by the goby and tat when I got back, too
my jar is such a pansy!
