    What do you all feed your clown gobies? After almost a week of never seeing mine attempt to eat anything I offered I went and got him some live baby brine shrimp and I think he may be eating them. I hope so anyway...

    Is that my only option? He doesn't seem to get the concept of going to the top for pellets or flakes or anything. I tried to spot feed him some mysis shrimp and shrimp pellets and he was scared.

    Mine likes movement. I take a pinch of flake and hold it in front of my Koralia for a couple of seconds for it to absorb water then release. Flakes stay underwater and move quickly throughout the tank. He goes nuts.

    Good idea, I'll try that with the flakes, thanks.
