, is a very picky eater. I feed Blood worms and dried shrimp. I alternate them ever other day. He doesn't like the flake that I feed to others, so i need some suggestions. Here is his picture...
Awesome fish. He needs brackish water, in case you're not keeping him in that environment!
I'm surprised that he's not taking the frozen bloodworms. I would try frozen brine shrimp. Flake food will not work, nor will the dried shrimp I don't think.

Here is a picture of him with the Dried shrimp in his mouth. Sorry for the misunderstanding but he does love the frozen blood worms. I feed them into the tank in a shot glass. I have actually had him swim into the glass and eat until his belly was very plump.
I assume you're talking about adding marine salt? Aquarium salt will do nothing to make brackish water. If you are in fact adding marine salt, I hope you are testing the salinity of the water.
Are the fish in your sig all in the same tank (where the number 1 is)? If so, you have a stock list that is incompatible... your only brackish fish in that list is the knight goby.

Mabel,
Are you testing the salinity with a hydrometer or refractometer? Water evaporates, salt doesn't. The other fish you have will be killed with salt. You have fish that require VERY different water conditions in the same tank. I hate to be a wet blanket, but I'd hate to see such a striking fish come to harm.
