hi , after a little advice please . got a dracula goby on saturday along with a pistol shrimp . pistol shrimp went straight to the sand ,had a mooch about and dug himself a burrow , the goby went and sat in a corner and sulked . sunday morning he was still there and stayed there all day, didnt eat or anything . just before bed i went to check on them before the lights fully went out and he'd gone, happy days i thought hes gone in with the shrimp as they were together in the shop (hence no qt as didnt want to seperate them) i then peeked over the tank and hes jumped out a tiny gap and he's on the jump guard , he was still going so i put him in the water but he was just floating about, tried to get him over to the burrow but wasnt doing alot , the cleaner shrimp wouldnt leave him alone nor the peppermint shrimp so i netted him and put him in the qt tank with the the clowns i got saturday but its got copperpower in the so didnt get a slow increase but he was going to be eaten in the main tank , is there anything i can do to help ? hes got bags or air, water movement , hiding place in a pipe but hes weak thin and not eating . sorry for long essay but wanted to give plenty of info
 
In addition to what the others tagged above might say, what foods have you tried? Have you tried any live foods like live white worms or mysis?
