Mine is not eating live worms, krill, algae or carnivore pellets. I read on the internet that they eat vegetable matter along with pellets. Mine eats nothing. What are you feeding your Jade "Fat Sleeper" Goby?
 
Flakes, pellets, live fish, dead fish, krill, shrimp, blood worms... anything...

Mercy! How did you do that? What can I do to get my goby to eat? Do I just have to wait until it gets hungry enough? Its not eating anything now, but will it just start eating when it gets hungry enough?
 
I have a sleeper that started eating once he got settled in. it took him like two weeks, the waiting was torture. Just today he snapped up a big fat goldfish. Made me real happy. He ignores anything not living though.

The only living food I put in my tank are earthworms. How large is your goby? I know that larger fish who are accustomed to eating feeders only are nutoriously difficult to get onto live foods. Mine is 5 inches long. I am hoping that its still small enough to get onto pellets, frozen and earthworms.
