So Frustrating - Feeding Goby

[RaymondL]

I picked up a captive bred goby from my LFS who has been feeding them pellets only, so I figured I'd pick one up and as well a jar of the pellets to go along with it.

5 days has passed and I've been hoping it'll grab some of the pellets as they sink, but it won't leave very far from it's hiding spot - this is my first goby and so I'm assuming given what I'm experiencing, these type of fish don't go chasing after pellets/food, but instead expect it to be in front of them?

they will more actively search for food when they are hungry. I wouldn't sweat it, 5 days is still a new environment for him. Resist the urge to overfeed as pellets are quite nutrient dense and can easily foul your water.
