Yellow Clown Goby not eating

[Firestarter]

I bought a yellow clown goby about 2 weeks ago. It doesn't feed on the frozen brine shrimp and pellet food that I feed it with.

However it appears to be swimming actively despite I can tell that its stomach is slightly sunk in which shows that its not feeding enough.

I have never seen it eat, but my tank is filled with pods and I dose phytoplankton once very 2 days.

Any way to entice the fish to eat? Initially I thought the fish was stressed when I introduced it into the tank and was normal not to feed for a few days, but 2 weeks?

Any ideas? Help would be appreciated.

Do you have a quarantine tank available? I would remove this fish from your main tank immediately.

Go buy one of those small plastic "terrapin" type tanks and a sponge filter, transfer tankwater and the fish into it.

If it has a disease you want to get it out from your main tank, same if it is being stressed or harassed by your other tank inhabitants. Try feeding it in the small tank, and

you can more easily monitor it.

You may want to try Henry's food (Marine Land) as many have reported good results using it with convalescing livestock.

I've seen the goby feeding on pods. Although I have alot of pods in the tank, the fish doesn't seem to be eating its fill.

I'll try soaking pellets with garlic juice first, then see how. Thanks for the help.

bro, try to entice your clown goby with flake food....pellet might be too big for them...depending on their size. all the best.

The pellet I'm feeding my fishes are smaller than 1mm in diameter. I always crush my pellets so that all the fishes can eat. But the YCG dont even care when the pellet sinks infront of it.

Will try feeding with garlic tomorrow.
