Feeding Shy Gobies

[Slapp]

Hello,

Picked up a green warpaint goby from my LFS today.
He’s a lot smaller than I thought, I had placed a hold out from online pictures and they were misleading. (Not their fault though)
I’m worried about the little fella coming out to eat, he was hiding under LR at the LFS and I know he is now.
He’s gonna be alone in this tank by my current plans, but I hope he sees that as a good thing.

Any advice for feeding tiny, shy, and new gobies?

Sorry for the bad photo, the 5 seconds I saw him before he started digging were spent in the corner I can’t scrape.

Many gobies spend a good portion of their day hiding but will come out for food

Oh ok cool. I’ll feed some very fragrant bloodworms.

Careful with bloodworms. If not consumed can quickly foul a tank

What about Hikari Bloodworms? Package has freshwater fish on it.

Eh, I figured the frozen is better than the freeze dried in terms of luring.

All of my fish, down to a tiny yellow goby, likes this.
