My neon goby eats like a pig, always has. You need to use smaller foods though. I feed sweetwater zooplankton and little bits of mysis. In my larger tank they just get whatever the other fish don't eat first but I currently have one in my 5g nano tank and he eats whatever he can fit in his mouth, as well as various copepods and such growing in the tank.
In a smaller tank I'd recommend only one though. For some reason they can be super vicious in closed quarters. I had 2 in my 90 gallon and one drove the other into the overflow several times. Finally I fished him out of the sump for the last time and decided he'd do better in my nano tank.
