Yellow clown goby won't eat

[scottaa515]

Hello everyone!

Recently picked up a Yellow Clown Goby from liveaquaria. Got him Friday morning and arrived lively and alert. Floated, drip acclimated and dropped him into the 10g QT tank, let him settle. Tried to feed Friday night with frozen mysis and pellets, showed no interest. Saturday tried flake, pellets, frozen mysis, and frozen brine. Didn't seem interested in any of it.

Where do I go from here? Today is day 3, he still has good color and active, but concerned he is getting hungry!

I thought maybe live brine shrimp? But also not really interested in live foods long term....


Any advice is welcomed!

Live foods might get him interested, but if he gets hungry enough, he will eat

My clownfish took nearly 2 weeks

What did you clowns end up liking? Ideally I could get him to eat pellet out of my fish feeder, but would settle for frozen foods!

My clownfish, they ate pellets, cyclops, and mysis

I would just give it more time.

How long should I wait? How long do you guess until it would legit starve?

I got some live brine today and he ate a couple, so at least now I feel ready to "reset" and try other foods that he's at least eaten something.

I’d say 2 more days. Shipped fish tank awhile to acclimate for me but it’s a good sign be at the brine shrimp
