Hi all,
I have a Randall's Goby that's paired with a Tiger Pistol Shrimp. Wonderful fish! But VERY shy. He's in a very peaceful tank. Nobody ever bothers anybody. But he won't come more than a few inches away from his little cave, even at feeding time. He comes out and looks really hungry, but I can't get any food to him because any time I get anywhere near with the turkey baster or eye dropper or anything to spot him some mysis or chopped squid or whatever he bolts back into his hole and another fish or shrimp eats the food.
I've tried turning off all my pumps and aiming food in his direction without getting close enough to spook him, but unless the food manages to drift within a couple inches of his cave without being eaten he doesn't get any. I'm starting to really worry that he's just not going to make it :worried:
Anybody have any suggestions??
