Hey so I recently got a new juvenile engineer goby it’s been about 48 hours and still seems to have no interest in food was wondering if that is normal or what should I do

I’ve had that. Has it maxed itself a burrow yet. Mine had to feel nice and safe before it would eat.

He is still at the stage of looking like a coral cat fish and not like an eel

Try frozen algae and other frozen meaty food, they like a variety. Mine didnt eat pellets when she was a baby like that, she would spit them out
