Diamond Goby Question.

[small alien]

Thank you and gobies eat those little bugs and Copepods out of the sand.

It's called "infauna" and can be depleted very rapidly.

I thought you were a diamond goby expert. If you don't know what they eat in the sand, you should not be participating in this debate and acting like some kind of authority.

I am no authority what so ever. Believe whatever y'all want to believe. I'm sure however that his diamond goby will eat prepared foods and will not starve to death.

I just got done feeding it. I just stick a cube of frozen mysis in the sand. Then it swims over to it and just eats it.

Why am I not surprised? Sticking it in the sand is not necessary but whatever floats your boat, I'm done with this thread. The over reacting is too much for me.

Since there seems to be a question of whether you can keep a Diamond goby alive by just feeding it or does it require a 300 gallon tank with a 2" sand bed? Maybe people can post how long they have had thiers and in what size tank?
I told you about my first two in my 300, I also have a pair in a 65g and all eat fish food when I feed. I did buy one once and it did not make a week before perishing. I feed PE Mysis, Spirulina Brine, and Mini Mysis.
