Goby did not eat at all

Sam1114 · 04/29/2016, 06:30 PM

Hello,
I got the Orange spot sandshift goby last Friday. After then he seems not eat anything. I tried to do anything for him but nothing works. I put the garlic extract at the pallet and dried mysis shrimp, chunked small frozen shrimp, and OCN brine shrimp plus flake but noting work. He is very slim now but I can not figure out any ill on my eye. The only thing I can see is his fin disappeared just little bit. I have one clown and blue damsel at the beginning. However, clown bother goby so I locked them up all. Any fish bother him now. I don't see any pods so I am pretty sure he did not eat anything.
Please give me any advise.
Thank you.

Try using BeneReef. It is intended to feed corals, but also fish, especially sand sifters. The fine food particles settle on and in the sandbed. It was developed specifically to feed sand sifters. You have to mix it with tank water and let it sit for about 3 to 5 minutes before pouring it in. My corals and all my fish love it. There are bigger shrimp and pods in the mix, but the finer stuff is great for sandsifters.

Good luck. It's a great food for everything. Just one note about it, when you add it your water will get cloudy for a little while but it clears up pretty fast as it settles into the sandbed. Just didn't want you to freak out when you first put it in.
