Firefish Goby wont eat

I have only had him for 2 days so far. He seems very happy. Swimmin around and stuff. I have fed zooplankton by sweetwater and some brine. He will take it in, then, spit it back out on both. Is there something i am missing here? Everything else in the tank goes crazy when i feed. Especailly when i feed the zooplankton.

Not much to worry about at this point. He/She is at least tasting it.
Just wait it out a few days, ;)

What other fish do you have in the tank? It may be a factor as to why he's not eating with gusto or spitting out food.:thinking:

My fire fish really likes fish food pellets, he eats no more than 2 in one feeding. He will try to take more, but ends up spitting it out. His little mouth gets too full

mine, that i just got also, do the same thing they seem to take the food in and then spit it out. make sure the pieces are small enough and watch real closely because they will spit out 3 and then eat one. mine are doing fine on a mix of brine,plankton,mysis, and flake.
