live brine shrimp

[billtw1]

Fed live brine shrimp to my fish and the yellow clown gobies won't touch the stuff. I'm confused as to why.

do they seem intrested at all in it?

 

[billtw1]

They look at it. They eat frozen food and flakes fine. I fed them some flake while live shrimp was in the tank so they would get something. One of them accidently got a shrimp thinking it was a flake and spit it out and proceded to get a flake.

well since they dont like it just feed them what they like. as long as they are getting food.

brine shrimp is just a treat not best to use as main food

As prey, the brine shrimp may be too large for the goby. They have relatively small mouths. I suspect they would behave very differently if fed live BBS. Plus, it's more nutricious.
