Picky Pink Spotted Goby


Our second firefish committed suicide so we got a pink spotted goby to replace her.

The fish does not want to eat...I put in three types of frozen and even chopped up krill.

Any ideas?

Have you tried live brine? I did that and then added frozen - both work now.

Mine also likes nori strips attached to a rock and placed on the bottom. That way it can eat when it wants and not just while the food is racing around.

My fish readily eat the aquadine flakes and they'll sink to the bottom.

What other fish are in the tank?

My pink spot has finally learned to come out when it's dinner time or he doesn't get any. I have a Purple Tang and 2 Perc Clowns that are PIGS. For the longest time, I thought my female clown was going to explode from the way she eats.

Nothing again so I will try Nori on a clip tomorrow. I don't put much food in there and have an army of inverts so the food is gone in a minute.

The fish looks like it tries to eat algae off the glass but there is not any there.

The clown, blenny and basslet in there are all really aggressive eaters..the pink spotted guy does not even try when it is in front of his face.
