I don't really recommend live brine shrimp as a staple in a diet. I only recommend it as a treat. Brine Shrimp are 99 percent water and basically have no nutritional value. It works great as a treat but not as a staple. They are a brackish fish so be sure to keep them in brackish for success. I would feed them any kind of frozen foods like bloodworms, brine, mysis shrimp, among others. Hope this helps and good luck.

Brine shrimp are basicly no nutrition at all (mostly water). Worms & algae wafers are what mine like.

True, True, but I was giving examples of the animals it enjoyed munching on. Gut-loaded ghost shrimp should do fine. It may also eat small fish, though I wouldn't recommend it as many other stores recommend.

I can't imagine a "blind" fish catching a GS.

Thanks for all the help ladies and gents! I will continue feeding my goby bloodworms and algae wafers! I thought about the shrimp but you guys convinced me to keep the food the same. :bowing:

My Dragonfish is about 5 inches right now hopefully he will grow up and be big and strong! Keep me posted if you have any more valuable info on violet gobies!!
