Clown goby feeding requirements?

[thatindonesianreefer]

Hi
I have a 12 galoon cube with many lps and soft corals. I have 2 clowns and a pajama cardinal and i want to add a clown goby in the near future (probably a few weeks from now).
Do you guys have any suggestions for feeding the goby?
And is it fine to add another fish?
My nitrates are 2 and phos at 0.03.

Mine eats pellets

Do they need training to accept pellets?

Also what kind of pellets do you use?

And will clown gobies accept powdered coral food?

Being a small fish, they eat smaller foods. The pellets should be micro-sized or else it will be too big for them to eat.

Just in case they are fussy eaters, would suggest to have frozen cyclops on hand, also always good to have brine shrimp eggs to hatch.

Variety is always best, feed a variety of foods and you will learn which food it likes best.

You are pretty full in that size tank already. If you are going to add, you should look at something that is going to be more on the sand bed to not intrude on the territories of your other fish. Maybe a smaller shrimp goby or other burrowing goby.

Clown gobies will readily eat anything that fits in their mouth. Mine eats pellets, flakes, and brine shrimp.
