Not eating

I started to noticed that my clown goby was getting a little skinny and today when I fed, he wouldn't go after the food like he use to. I am feeding Mysis one time a day. I even tried to hand feed some flake but he refused.

I know this is kind of a blind question, but do you have any suggestions or any ideas of whats going on?

Thanks.

Re: Not eating

Check all water paremeters to be on safe side..Really my only suggestion would be to try mixing up the frozen foods a little bit and see if something else is what he wants..How long has the fish not been eating? Is the fish picked on? Any visable problems(cuts scratches)Do you have a good supply of coppods and inverts. Do you have a refugum?

Re: Not eating

I Would Just Double Check Your Water. I Had The Same Trouble With A Tomatoe Clown That I Bought. I Was Great For A Week, Then All Of A Sudden He Stopped Eating & Swimming. It Was Like A Switch Turned Off. I Mean I Fed Him Everything You Could Think Of. All My Water Test Were Right On, But When I Had It Tested At The Lfs It Was Way Off. When I Put Him In , He Started A Mini-cycle And My Ammonia Went Up. I Got Lucky With Him And He Pulled Through. Good Luck With Him, I Think A Clown Goby Might Be My Next Choice...

Re: Not eating

I agree with Cryptic and Ray.Double check your parms. switch/mix your fish foods.But try adding a few drops of Zoe to the food.I noticed that when I started adding it to mine,my fish started getting fired up more at feeding time.
