Citron Goby Needs to Eat

[Beto]

I've had this citron goby for about six week. It is getting real real thin...it's not eating anything. I've tried pellets, I've tried flakes, I've tried brine, I've tried zoo plankton...I can't get him to eat anything....anyone out there any of these and if so, what are you feeding him?

I'm sad for this guy...he used to be nice and plump...now he's just real thin...

Ive heard pretty good thing about Rod's food for finiky new fish. Might be worth a shot.

have you tried mysis? you didnt mention that, and i found my scooter blenny ONLY eats that out of a lot of different foods...

 

[Beto]

Yes, I tried mysis. What is Rod's food?

i would try..... and i know exactly how wierd this sounds...........chopped up earth worm.

it works with citrons my science teacher was tring to get hers to eat and viola it ate.

if that doesn't wark and you have access to the ocean go durring low tide to a rocky shore lift rocks in the intertidal zone and collect isopods and amphipods.

if that doesn't work i would try geting some faux stoney coral and putting pieces of fish and shrimp in the holes.

finaly if worse comes to worse buy a real stony coral and let your fish gorge on the polyps.

hope i was helpful.........tommy real yannopoulos

Beto did you get your citron to eat? I am having the same problem. I have tried pellets, flakes, and mysis and I have not seen him eat. I have heard they will eat zucchini on a vegy clip but have not tried it
