Feeding a Yellowheaded Sleeper Goby

[mark]

Finally got my goby 2 weeks backs but getting concerned out his size. Was slim when I got him, but he's getting thinner.

Has been eating frozen mysis and flake from the start, sifts through the sand but appears not much of a appetite. He'll take about 3-4 mysis and some flake then loose interest. Tank mates are a purple tang and two clowns but they are not stopping him.

As for behavior, doesn't burrow, usually hangs out above the LR unless sifting, if startled just goes behind the LR for a short bit.

I feed once a day. 4"+ DSB in a 75G that's been up about 2 1/2years.

I have one also and he is the same he went really skinny he will eat a couple mysis and a couple brine then he is not interested anymore but he will sift sand here and there throughout the day. I try not to feed any flakes because he just sifts them through his gill I don't think he is eating any.
I have had him for 8 months now he is really skinny but has lots of opportunity to eat as much as he wants I don't worry about him :cool:

As long as he's eating you should be OK. I wouldn't worry too much about it. If he's starving he'll figure it out.
