Does anyone here have any experience with these little guys. i rescued 4 of them from wal mart and i was taking care of them and then i saw that one died. i did notice that they werent eating the shrimp i was giving to them. what should i feed them? and do they dig tunnels? i think the sand might be too fine and is collapsing on them... should i cut some clear siphon tubing and make tunnels for them? how do i take care of them?
 
I have four bumblebee gobies. As far as I know they don't dig or anything like that, only stick to plants and surfaces with their fused ventral fins. As for feeding, they supposedly like live foods like brine shrimp, but I've been successful with frozen bloodworms, and frozen brine shrimp. Watch out if you have small fish with even remotely large fins. Although not too dangerous, bumblebee gobies are fin-nippers. Every once in awhile you can see the tiny bites they've taken out of my guppies' tailfins.
 
lol ok im still gonna make some shelters for them since they are with one small puffer. the puffer has left them alone for the whole week and a half theyve been in there but id rather be safe than sorry
