Twin Spot Signal Goby Not Eating???
I am having a hard time getting my goby to eat... I have tried everything including live foods for him and he will still not eat... I have been told to try live blackworms... Can somebody tell me what these are and where I might find them...

Can't help you on that except to say he may be getting some nutrition from your sand. My gobies all relish Formula One Sinking Pellet, because it gets down where they are and blows about. Hopefully somebody knows about blackworms. Also, a diced up piece of uncooked shrimp from the supermarket will often tempt various fish.

These fish have terrible rates of success in captivity. A few people here have them but not without lots of work to get them eating, and lots of attention/spot feeding to keep them fat. Try any meaty foods, VERY FINELY chopped/minced. Even bury some under a thin layer of sand where they hang out.

I've had a pair now for i think a few months. I honestly can't remember when i got them. They didn't eat anything i gave them for the first week or so. I began impregnating the sand with cyclopeeze and mysis shrimp at the entrance to thier burrow. After a few days they finally caught on to what was going on. Now every 3 days i drop a small cluster of shrimp and cyclopeeze and they snatch it right up. I finally caught one of them actually swim 5 inches off the substrate to catch a shrimp floating by when i fed the rest of the tank. Hopefully this behavior continues and they begin to catch more of thier own food if they aren't finind enough in the sand. I use a salifert test tube hooked onto some rigid airline tubing for the target feeding in the sand. Good Luck!
