Donny's twin spots
Donny has a question about his twin spotted gobies, but is afraid to ask it...
 They are starving and won't eat, he's tried putting food right in front of their faces, they just dig in the sand like they don't even see it. He's tried flakes, pellets, frozen, everything. He's had them for two weeks now. Any tips for him?

Re: Donny's twin spots
"Usually, the Twinspot Goby feeds off the bottom sifting through the sand for food. It should be fed a variety of live vitamin-enriched frozen brine shrimp, mysid shrimp, live black worms, and prepared foods for carnivores."
took that straight of Live aquaria maybe they hide the food, so theyll eat it later on?

Re: Donny's twin spots
I've had them a while like 2 months now. Do you think they would have died by now? Also I noticed one going number 2... Don't you think they have to eat something to go poopy?
