Small yellow goby, eating concerns

[gregzz4]

What else do you have in the tank with the gobies ?
They are shy, oportunistic fish. Have you tried getting the food close to them ?
You can try using forceps or a turkey baster

Cyclopes?

Sorry to hear that .. you'll figure this out

Yup, I'd try Cyclop-eeze along with the turkey baster idea.

I had one of these waste away. Tried every food including two types of cyclopeeze with no luck. I think these guys like calm tanks until they get settled. Mine seemed nervous.

Try live baby brine shrimp. I seldom encounter anything that wont eat live brine

Have you tried chopping up the Mysis ?
C'mon Laurie, you've raised Parrot-fish. You will get these guys to eat
