So I got a wheelers shrimp goby two days ago and he is the shyest thing I ever met, I cant get close to the tank with out him hiding, which means I cant feed him. What do I do I dont want him to starve, mabey he is eating a few pods since he is so small, but that won't last forever. Will he eventually get less shy and come out when I feed or am I just screwed???



I feed a small amount of omega one pellets daily, and mysis shimp weekly.



Thanks all help is greatly appreciated.
 
You’ve only had it for 2 days and him not eating it completely normal. Allow him to acclimate to the tank
You should be offering various amount of frozen, flakes, and pellets to ensure the fish are getting the right nutrients

How long do you think it will be before he gets acclimated and starts eating, also once he is acclimating will he hide less
 
Hard to answer both questions since every fish is different
