Yea these guys are much more active than my MARBLE GOBY these guys are crazy. They will jump and take food from my hand and bite fingers sometimes when feeding these guys are nuts.
 
I put food daily for mine but mine feeds every 2-3 days eating at most 1-2 prawns or 1 block of bloodworm/quartet he had me worried because when I first purchased him he fed then went 3 days ignoring all foods then on the third day he fed as he did on the first day and then went 2 days not feeding his only tank mate a large and robust Gibbiceps enjoyed eating the food the Goby ignored then I found that the E200 Heater was not heating the water at all allowing it to drop to 70.0 I moved the fish into my only other a tank I had available and held my breath as the rescue tank is home to a 25 year old Platydoras costatus and 5 various size goldfish he seems to have settled in and is feeding as normal every 2 days not even looking at the Goldfish as food lies next to the Costatus I expected over night to find some of my fish missing or cowering up the corner but no they are all fine swims witth the goldfish like a giant neon tetra even follows the plec around almost cuddling him, where I bought him from he was all alone in a small square tank now he has a much bigger tank and he had originally 1 tank mate the plec now he has a lot more and he has not touched them a very timid fish hides when you put any food into the tank only if he is hungry will he wait for me to drop the food infront of him and then he will take one or two of the prawns then continue to swim around even seen him trying to eat flake food with the goldfish so yes they will eat anything but mine has no ill will to the smaller tank mates tomorrow on the 9th I will get a replacement heater and maybe in a day or two move him back to his original home with the plec as his companion so all the vids I have seen water gobys swallowing goldfish whole either the owners are just feeding goldfish or I have a 1 in a million fish that is not the killing machine they have the reputation for
