Orange Spotted Goby

I have an orange spotted goby that is getting skinnier by the day...It is always sifting the sand for food but i think there is not much food in my sand bed...It is too slow to compete for food with the other fish...How can i get more copepods and other food source for the fish...HELP HELP HELP!!!!

I don't know if this would work, but I wonder if you buried some frozen food not too deep would he get it?

Try feeding all your other fish first, then spot feed your goby. Do you have a pistol shrimp? If not make a burrow for him. Mine is with a red and white striped pistol, eat any food that passes by his burrow.
Hope that helps.
