Feeding Watchman Goby

[Dexmom]

I bought a tank the other day that had a watchman goby and 2 damsels in it. I moved the watchman goby into my other tank because there is a pistol shrimp in there ( I think, haven't seen him in a week) . Anyway, the other fish in this tank are 2 nemos and 2 blue/green chromis. They pretty much eat all the food before it gets down to the goby. The goby doesn't even try to go up to get anything. What do I do to keep him from starving?

How big is is? If your sand is dirty they get some nutrients out of that, there are pellets made to sink for fish who don't get to snag any flakes or frozen

Thank you. The goby is full grown. I am just stirring the water a little so, some flakes sink to his level.

You can get a 36 inch squirt tube feeder. That is what I do for all my shrimps and blennys and crabs wwhen I want to directly feed them. Keeps my hands out of the water too. I like that a lot.

Have you tried mysis? Normally everything goes for them and they get caught in the water column much easier so they are all over the tank and not just the top where the pig clowns will get it.
