    i havent been on as much lately but im still here :thumbsup2:
    i dont have a sleeper goby but i do have to use a turkey baster to feed my fish. my engineer gobies stay in there burrows and i have to shoot the food right twd them they come out to eat but as soon as they grab the food there back in hiding. if your straw trick works you may want to try and feed some meaty foods also like clam or squid they may take to that. after u use the baster or straws they learn that when they see that its feeding time and come out and redy to eat. i have a couple of fish that hide and dont show thmeselves but when they see that ;baster every one of them comes out. u see fish that u dont even know are in there

    Pretty weird isn't it? My tiger barbs in my plant tank sleep with their noses to the sand. I even saw a video on TV of whales sleeping vertically. That was wild! [smiley=grin3.gif]

    my clowns started doin this they change there habits so much. they pick the top left corner they seem to lay right next to each other and either lay head down or tail down also i have a chromis that is sort of on his own he lays in the other corner at night head up. i love my clowns but think there one of the weirdest fish. also they started hangin out with the pwr head again

    most hitchiker clams are small and you cant really feed them they are filter feeders and pull stuff from the water
