Bumblee Bee Goby wont eat

[zach_fresh]

i know bumblee bee gobys are picky eaters but i have had mine for about a week now and i cant get him to eat. i have tried forzen blood worms and brine shrimp, he sometimes will go after the food and turn away or eat it and spit it back out. any ideas?

Perhaps the breeder fed him something else and that's what he's used to? I know with bettas, if they don't like the food that you offer, some will hold out for something better. Fish can easily go for a week without food, so if your are merely being picky, once they get hungry enough, they'll eat. However, one thing might be that the food is too big for their mouths. Have you tried offering something smaller?

Try frozen daphnia or mysis shrimp.
