Cool little fish, used to have one in a 29g reef.

Nice little goby you have there! I tried on a while back and I could never get the little guy to eat. It's a shame because he was such a nice looking fish.

[TylerxxLovex3]

aww, i hope this guy has an appetite.

I used to spot feed mine cyclopeeze and uber small bloodworms, both soaked in garlic. You can give that a try, hopefully it will take it.

[TylerxxLovex3]

how exactly do I prepare food in garlic? and you can buy cyclopeeze at most fish stores?

[HaKs310]

Kent Marine sells a product named Garlic Xtreme (http://www.drsfostersmith.com/product/prod_display.cfm?pcatid=5016). I used to place a drop of it inside a small cup container, threw some cyclopeeze and swirled it around. You should find both at most SW stores.

You can just use the garlic that we eat as well, chop up a clove and let it soak with the food

so how many times a day do i feed the cyclopleeze? And do i feed the cyclopleeze to the other fish/inverts too? How much? Sorry im a basket of questions!!
haha

i feed my fish spirulina frozen food, is there something better to feed them like formula one or something??

[SpockthePuffer]

I try to feed a bunch of different foods. I see you have a midas blenny, I have one too and he will eat anything I put in there, including fingers (my clown too, lol)! I feed the formula one and two pellets, frozen mysis, brineshrimp, squid, mussels and shrimp and some nori on a clip. The other fish will probably eat the cyclopeeze too, my clown and midas blenny eat everything!

Cytopleeze is something that all inverts and fish can enjoy (if they like it). I just place a couple drops (after mixing with RO water of) of cytopleeze by a powerhead and let it blow around for the fish to catch. If you have a picky fish eater that hasn't eaten for a long time then I would recommend QTing so you can direct feed them.

The two foods that I have had the most success with feeding picky eaters is frozen cytopleeze and frozen mysis.

Are those all frozen or just some of them? Do you get it all from the sw store?

[TylerxxLovex3]

thank you guys for your help!

I get the mussels and shrimp from the grocery store. I'm sure your fish would like the shrimp, mussels gets a little messy though. With the shrimp I just defrost it in tank water and vitamins and break it up into little pieces for the fish. They love it. The other stuff I listed is just from the LFS, they sell little packets with frozen pieces of squid.

toAlright thanks for all of your help. What vitamins do you use and where do you get those? how much should i feed my fish?

[SpockthePuffer]

I get some vitamins from drs foster and smith, they have a few different kinds on the website.

I feed my fish twice a day, I'm not really sure on the amount, I kind of just know when to stop but with the midas blenny you can kind of see his stomach fill up with food.
