Feeding small neon goby

borillion_star · 03/18/2010, 10:43 PM

Im trying to feed my neon goby spectrum pellets of the smallest size but they are to big for his mouth, is it possible to grind them?

Any other recommendations?

Thanks

Have you tried frozen? Or flake?

Yes, he does the lets taste it and then spit it out with the frozen and is to scared to go up for flakes, he only swims about 3 inches away from his rock and then darts back.

You can easily crush the pellets with a spoon or something or you can soak them and they will break up easily.

Lol things are going good here, he has been eating food somewhere and growing good. Maybe a little too good!
