    They are not really pod eaters but will usually accept most frozen,pellet or flake foods.This is a very docile fish so peaceful tankmates are a must.;)

    Thanks for the reply I have a combtooth blenny and a yellowtail damsel in the tank ( both seem to be acting peacfully), I do use frozen mysis shrimp in my food rotation.

    What size is the tank?Blennies can indeed bully Gobies since they share the same zone. Damsels can be extremely aggresive with newcomers.
