How big is your tank? What are the parameters of your tank? The goby is a Brackish fish. They like frozen bloodworms.

Yea If you try bloodworms and he doesn't bite, you have a problem. Otherwise, Patience.

How big is the goby? What type of fish is he in with? When are you feeding?
Frozen bloodworms or even brine shrimp put down near its face after lights out should get it eating. Watch for aggressive eaters in the tank or it won't stand a chance.

Wait a 10gallon tank?

How big is the catfish and goby?

10gal is really small for both unless their both babies - and even still - not for long.

Give him another day or so, he's probably stressed out.

Please post your parameters.

Goby is 5 inches long...catfish is 2 1/2 inches

I have one dragon and two Catfish. They are in a 75 gallon tank. The cats are soon moving to a 180 gallon tank. A 10 gallon tank is way too small for either fish.

I think he's probably not eating because the catfish is taking all the food. In a tank like that I wouldn't doubt it.

Also, please if you can get your water checked and post it up.

Usually if something is sick it is due to water quality. Please post your Nitrite, Ammonia and pH

ph is 7.5.....nitrite 0.5.........need to buy amonia test
