Default Goby food :)

Kind of embarassing as I sent in a FishOfTheMonth, but for anybody that has kept gobies / blennies...what food do they typically not eat? I like to pamper my animals, so I wouldnt mind buying 6-7 frozen foods and alternating them all. I currently feed omega-one sinking pellets for the goby as well as mysis. Then I usually drop a omega-two pellet in the tank bi-weekly (the goby doesnt eat em, but I think the sexy shrimp + crabs + snails would). Any suggestions on how i can make my goby and pistol shrimp a spoiled little prince(s)?

BTW, will gobies eat pods? What about seahorses

Pretty much all fish eat pods

As for feeding your goby, as long as you don't overdo it and pollute the water by overfeeding, some mysis shrimp would definitely be appreciated from time to time. Otherwise, I would just stick to flake food for regular feeding.

Sure, it'll eat all that but mysis shrimp are easier to feed The way I get flakes to sink is to take a pinch and hold it in the water for a few seconds before I let it go.

I like to make it so my animals should be 'happier' than usual (even in nature) so I'll probably get some of something...maybe rod's food ?

I tried that with my flakes and they resurfaced! Maybe I didnt leave the pump off long enough? In the BC, there gets to be one hell of a current that recirculates.

You must be really bored at work...I feel your pain :/

I don't know Rod or his food What's in it?

Today, yes, I'm very bored at work, but I'm not complaining because I don't think the lag will last much longer
