    I just bought a Randalls goby and it's very small, almost an inch.

    What do I feed this small of a fish? All I have right now is frozen mysis, brine, blood worms, and formula 2 frozen cubes. I think everything is too big for the little guy to eat.

    I was thinking of trying pellets, any ideas?

    Also, is Hikari a good brand?

    i wouldent change your feeding at all. gobys will "eat" sand and then spit it out their gills, they will pick what they want to eat out of it.

    That might be a good idea, but does it tint my tank water? What about frozen baby brine?

    No it does not taint the water. I fed all my small gobies cyclops. Gobies and small clowns seem to love the stuff. Some corals like it as well for target feeding.
