I’ve noticed my mandarin goby is really thin. Been target feeding mysis but cleaner shrimps and wrasse get there first and scare it off.
Any advice?

Most mandarins rely on pods and only pods. If you have a captive bred one that was raised on other foods, then you may have to target feed it. Feed the shrimp on one end of the tank first and then target feed the mandarin while the shrimp are eating.I’ve noticed my mandarin goby is really thin.

Mandarin need copepods to survive. Mine had never eaten the food I give other fish in the 2 years I've had her. Best option would be the feeder Paul B made to feed live baby brine shrimp.I’ve noticed my mandarin goby is really thin.

That doesn't seem right. I have a 90 gallon tank, no sump or fuge and only add pods maybe once a year.600L tank.
2 years old.
large refugium.
Still not enough pods to feed her. I dose pods regular. She will take Mysis shrimp so that’s good but everything else eats them first.
I was thinking of putting a big chunk of shrimp on a clip at the other end?
I agree. Joe, how long have you had the fish?That doesn't seem right.
