Anyone have experience with Citron Gobies?

[NanoKat]

I just purchased a Citron Goby for my nano and this is a great fish. I had thought about a regular Clown Goby, but this one is a bit bigger and has these beautiful blue stripes on his yellow body. Anyway, I was informed that he might eat frozen mysid or maybe even pellets. I don't believe he's been eating either one, or maybe he's shy about eating in front of me...I'm not sure. He looks kind of skinny, but I'm not sure if he may have been that way when I got him. I've tried frozen mysid, spectrum pellets, and even some zooplankton I've got in the fridge, but he doesn't seem to touch any of it. I'm thinking of going and getting some brine shrimp next and seeing if he likes live stuff.

Any info would be greatly appreciated! Thanx!

Here's what he looks like in case you're curious...

He does look a bit hungry.
everything you have offered he should take. I had a pair till a tank crash and they ate just about anything.
maybe live brine or frozen cyclopeze?

Kate, I have one in the Nano, I made all this finicky eaters start eating with frozen Daphnia, they can stop themselves from going after this.

Just put an acro in the tank
Cyclopeeze has always been sucessful for me, as well as live brine. Good luck!!

LOL they will def go after acro polyps. i had to get mine out . My colony now extends much better.

Ditto on the acro... Maybe get a common frag from someone that's sacrificial, he'll start eating with that, and probably move on to other frozens... where did you get him?

That's funny, I read on the internet that he would "host" in an acro...not eat it???!!! I have a tiny 1/2" acro frag that has not extended much since he's been in the tank....hmmm....luckily, I'm not that heavy with the acros.

I'll pick up some cyclopeze and some brine tomorrow and see if he likes those.

if you can find a frag of green slimer..grows quick and mine used to host in it..... may not for you but is a chance
