I just bought a naked green clown goby yesterday. He is developing bumps on his side. I've read it could be from malnutrition. I tried to feed mysis night and again today. He was uninterested. I even got a piece directly in front of him. What can I do to get him to eat?? Please help!

edit* I've read feed cyclopeeze... the store doesnt have any. what should I do??
 
I don't know if it's from mal nutrition or not but if the fish isn't eating it might be the food, or it could be sick. I have heard of a disease with black spots, I can't really think of it at the moment. Do you have a qt tank? I would recommend putting him in there till you can properly diagnose him or he starts showing signs of getting better. Try feeding him flakes or frozen brine shrimp.

Thank you! I looked up the black spot disease and it isn't that. Also, the last 2 days he has eaten some frozen mysis shrimp! I think he is getting better. I'm still keeping a close watch on him.
