So you took them out? How are they getting enough air, filtration, hiding? I bet they are so stressed. You can feed them anything any other fish would eat like flakes, pellets, and frozen foods.
Tony Gill said:I can't do much better with your new photos. Sorry. They may be juveniles or full size; it's impossible to know without a species identification. Nice little fish, regardless. They should do okay on small meaty foods (such as very finely chopped shrimp meat). I doubt they will prove to be too picky in what they eat, but if they refuse dead food, you could try them on newly hatched brine shrimp until they get used to other foods. Be very careful not to overfeed, as things can go downhill very fast in a marine tank if you have even a tiny amount of uneaten food decomposing.
You will have a better chance of identifying after they have settled back in. If they are indeed juveniles, a little extra size would also make identification easier. Jim Van Tassell's website has photos of common Florida gobies, many of which range into the Gulf. Compare your fish with the photos provided there: Florida Gobioidei
