    i have an engineer goby that hides alot. When i feed the pellets to the tank the fish eat them before they fall down to his cave. Should i throw a lot of pellets in at once so some fall on the sand??:cry:

    He'll get food. . By the way when I bought mine I had know idea that little 2 inch fish would be 10 inches a year later.

    mine is the same way. He had a burrow out in front and that worked well, but then when I moved everything around he made his burrow on the back half of the tank. I see him now during feeding time, (they eat algae by the way, mine loves nori and ulva flakes), he doesn't always eat, but does seem to grow all the time.
