The yellow clown goby doesn't seem to be eating. He did when I got him, but his belly is caved in a little.
It REALLY concerned me when I visited the LFS where I got him today and saw his bretheren TRULY emaciated. One was at the bottom who looked fine but two others were swimming, looked to me like they were stressed out (hovering but with that nervous thing going on).
He was eating the mysis, didn't see him ever with flakes, I've tried cyclopeeze with zooplankton right in front of him and no interest. What can I do to entice him? I'm wondering if he's intimidated by the bigger fish (pigs) during feeding time. Spot has chased him once or twice but it's not a regular occurrence.
I am encouraged by the fact that he looks better than his friends in the LFS but that belly worries me.
Anyone have any suggestions?
I have a floating "betta" plastic container such as LFSs use to catch fish, i could possibly put him in there for a time until I see him eating, but would that just stress him out further?
