Hello all, I have searched for some more information about this fish it is also known as a citron goby. I bought him yesterday but I am a bit confused about his feeding. I always research anything I buy and though I had it all down before I picked him up. However, this goby has an extremely small mouth. What do I feed him? Most of you may be fromiliar with the green warpaint. its the same thing just the colors are more pronounced against his orang/yellow body. Same size and all.

I usually make a mixture of 1 cube mysis, 1 cube cyclops, 1 cube brine shrimp, formula 1 pellet food and I use a food soak. I keep this in the fridge and use it over the coarse of a couple of days. This has been my tried and trued method for almost a year now.

When I feed him I notice both the brine shrimp and the mysis are almost the size of his head...so I figure there is no way he is going to swallow this stuff. Any suggestions or ideas on what or how to feed this little guy?:hmm5:

Might need some brine shrimp or cyclopeeze. Otherwise, you can try crushing up flake food.
 
I might try that. didn't really think about it. Since goby's dont move mutch from their caves Its kind of hard to spot feed them without scaring them. I will try some flake in front of his spot.
