Alright, so I read if a diamond goby will not eat prepared food (and sometimes even if they will) they are at a huge risk for starvation in a tank that isn't absolutely huge, since they sift the sand. Thankfully mine attacks frozen food and I just started dropping pellets at his burrow through a tube since I think I've been over feeding my tank trying to ensure he eats.

I loveeeee my Goby. He's awesome. Just not sure what a "healthy" Goby looks like compared to a "skinny" or starving Goby.

First pic is from the day I got him about a month and a half ago, and the second pic is him today.

He looks good. If he is eating foods you provide then it shouldn't be too much at risk of starving.
