Bumblebee Goby Food suggestions please

[Pandamania]

Picked up 4 bumblebee gobys Thursday morning. Will definitely not eat flakes. One tried the frozen brine shrimp, spit it out. Have read to maybe try the brine shrimp pellets? If you have bumblees, please tell me what you are presently feeding them. My fish a very tiny, one is under an inch, the other three are not quite 1/2". They all seem to be healthy, swimming about and latching onto the tank sides occasionally, but haven't eaten yet. Please help.

Blackworms.

Try frozen mysis & bloodworms.

No luck with frozen blood worms, or mysis. Gave them daphnia tonite, didn't seem to eat that either. Will get black worms first thing in the a.m. Thank you all for your advice/opinions. I hope I can find something they like!

Really? That's a bit surprising to me. I've never seen one that wouldn't eat frozen bloodworms. You may have to try live food like California blackworms or something. If you can get live brine shrimp it may be a quick fix but I wouldn't use adult brine shrimp as a staple food in their diet long-term.

Bingo! on the nasty black worms, it's just that these BB's are so tiny! I'm going to try getting the live tiny brine shrimp also.>> What's the caution in the use of the adult brine shrimp in their diet???Please share more of your knowledge!Thanks so very much!

Adult BS are 98% water--no nutrition there.
