I will partly take back what I said. From what I am finding out now, the diet of Amblygobius species ranges from fine algae to small crustaceans - "...filamentous algae, various crustacean groups, nematode worms..." (Fenner). Starvation remains the leading cause of death in captivity. Of course this is a problem with any fish that will not accept prepared foods. Whether yours makes a dent in your cyano (that's what it looks like to me) will be interesting to find out.
