Yellow Watchman Goby

FreDre · 09/02/2007, 10:15 AM

I love adding the Frozen brine shrimp. This is really the only time that Dunkin' (my yellow watchman goby) actually comes out and eats. This worries me a little bit. I hope that in between the feedings of the frozen shrimp (I rotate...1 day of sinking pellets, next day is half a capful of concentrated arcti pods, and day 3 is 1/2 tablet of frozen brine shrimp), that he gets enough food. I don't want him starving to death. I do have pods that I see crawling around on my live rock, but I never actually see him hunting them or picking them off the rocks. When I feed the sinking pellets (dainichi), he doesn't come out and eat them. Does anyone have any opinions on the feedings of yellow watchman gobies??

U can check out my website for more information about my tank if you need to...

Just my opinion but if you have a healthy pod population then he is taking advantage of that. Also food placement may have a role in it. One food may be worth th risk of leaving his "safety zone" because of nutritional value and another may not.
