Gobi that eats leftover food for 20 g

Hi,
I have a bunch of leftover food on the bottom of my tank. It's a 20 gallon high and I'm looking for a gobi that eats leftover food off the ground.

Nevermind sorry I didn't know it was in the disease section.

Still, I can help answer you…..
There should not be leftover food in a tank unless you are specifically feeding some scavenger like a hermit crab. Gobies are not scavengers, so don’t expect them to eat much leftover food (there are sand sifting gobies, but they don’t eat old food either). The best thing to do with uneaten food is to remove it with a siphon or a net, and then don’t put as much food in the tank next time.

Sounds like over feeding which can quickly foul water and alter tank chemistry
Feed sparingly in steps as it’s easier to add food than to remove it
