I just got a new firefish goby and im not really sure what to feed it. Im just feeding it tdo pellets as of right now.
 
Mine gets a main diet of krill and veggie flakes from an auto feeder. I also feed a mix of mysis and baby brine shrimp a few times a week
 
What he said. Just watch when you feed it if it eats it, your good. Mine loves chopped clams and mysis and any other fleshy bits that I can feed them.
 
Beautiful fish. I've had a few and they are pretty easy eaters. Flake, Frozen....etc.

One bit of advice. If you want to enjoy the Firefish make sure you cover top of tank before he jumps out. It's a MUST if not the only fish you have!! Even then you might spook him to jump as well.
 
As said above, these guys eat anything that just touches the water and fits in their mouth. I personally feed them mysis and brine (I mix it and my fish go after both like mad).

When you guys speak of krill is this a dried food ?
 
Frozen. Ive tried the freeze dried stuff before but the krill are big and never fully reconstitute. They would always just float and go over the overflow.
