mister crabs Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 i have a diamond goby that has been in my tank for about 5 months now and constantly cleans the sandbed. My concern is he seems awfully skinny and was wondering what a good supplemental food would be? I am guessing his main diet consists of pods and I do have a mini fuge in the back of my biocube with chaeto and LR rubble but Im worried its not keeping up with his demands. I feed my clowns mysis and some squid/krill mixture and my whole tank gets some cyclopeeze (sp?). Is there something else I can feed him to fatten him up? I really dont want to starve my fish. thanks guys! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael7979 Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 Might want to give something meaty a try, like Formula 1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aqua-ed Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 Feed him! I killed a goby by making that mistake. The sand sifting supplements their diet, kind of like a snack. Gobies actually need a lot of food. I would get grumped at mine because he stole shrimp from my sea star. Turned out he was starving. Gosh, I feel the old guilt coming back just writing about it... Moral of the story: Feed him meaty food! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spectra Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 My diamond used to eat mysis shrimp and also the gumbo I get from SWF. He was a pig hell he even ate a sexy shrimpDOH! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
