ribbie Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 My green clown goby took 5 days, almost a week, before he started eating. And he is healthy as horse. that's good news. I havent seen him eat in the 7 days I've had him.... trying some frozen mysis today. Quote Link to comment
GiantBen Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 that's good news. I havent seen him eat in the 7 days I've had him.... trying some frozen mysis today. I've had mine for weeks and never seen him eat anything. Mysis, pellets, flakes, thet pink crap that you squirt in the tank, nothing. I assume he is eating pods. Quote Link to comment

I assume he is eating pods. Do you notice that he's more active at night? I assume he's eating pods then because he hides when I"m around (5-8pm) and then comes out when I shut the lights out(pod time?). Quote Link to comment
spazizz Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 I dont think yellow clown gobies should be for beginners. i see so many underweight gobies even mine only gets a full belly when i feed it frozen food. They are so small and non-aggressive. Ive had mine for almost a year now though ^_^ Quote Link to comment

He is the only fish in my tank right now. I see him at night, but he is never what I would call "active". Quote Link to comment

Yeah, mines the same way. I just fed him some frozen mysis with the pumps off and once again the moment he sees me he hides in the rocks. Fast little bugger. This is the best pic I've gotten of him in the week I've had him: Quote Link to comment

TESK Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 I am the proud owner of a yellow clown goby and I have to say I love the little fellow, for such a small fish he has a huge personality. I want to do what's right for him so I am hoping to get some expert advice here about feeding a fish like him. Basically, the only thing other than 'pods that he will eat with any enthusiasm is flake food so I really want to find out what the best sort of flake food for a goby is. Quote Link to comment
Nanobuds Posted August 24, 2009 Author Share Posted August 24, 2009 hmm... im sorry i dont fed my fish flake food only frozen brine/mysis but i bet if you make a thread of the question in the fish forum you will get an answer and welcome to the club Quote Link to comment
TESK Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 I'll probably make a post asking for more information in another few days after I've done some research on my own. At the moment I'm going with the notion that the more meat and less grain/filler type ingredients the better quality the flake so what I have might be acceptable even though it's formulated for freshwater fish. I honestly didn't want to feed my guy flake food, but it's the only stuff he had interest in. I tried to get the little guy to eat mysis for several weeks and he didn't seem to like the taste. With flake food though he's what I'd consider a very aggressive feeder. He had never seen flake food until put two flakes in the tank on a whim, he's not even supposed to like flake food. Probably I just have a weird little goby. Long term though, I hope to get him on some other, more natural, foods. Glad to be a part of the clown goby club though, I think I may have found my favorite saltwater fish Quote Link to comment
