Would it be to much stress to rearrange one small rock structure in a different position? Considering I added the fish yesterday
now is the time to do ity before it establishes a favorite spot

I still don’t think he has eaten it has been 25 hours does he look strange swimimg around so much and then going to perch? He then just perch’s on the sand bed and relaxes for a min or so before moving around again

One way to determine if it’s eating is to set your cell phone on video mode and do a light feeding and walk away. MUST WALK AWAY
come back and review video and see if it are without your presence
Also what foods are you feeding it?
This is not a flake and pellet fish

It looks like he keeps swimming around like crazy and then nestles down and tries to get comfy and perch!

He is trying to nestle on the wave maker too making me nervous
Help y’all my
Clown goby is still not eating: parameters are remaining constant and all other fish are active and eating. Well the Royal gramma is not active but she comes out to eat and peeks out once in awhile . The yellow watchamn goby is picking at mysis shrimp and looks good. Although the clown goby just perches between rocks and at night erratically swims around and perches in various spots. I am never able to see the clown goby in particular eat and have seen everyone else nibble at the shrimp. I also left the room and recorded he still did nothing. Today is the third day so it’s beginning to become concerning to me. SHould I offer brine shrimp instead tomorrow?

I know it has been a very long time since this thread, but I remembered this tonight so I thought I'd ask: how'd this turn out?
