gobies or blennys

[blazehok68]

when i firsat started my tank 6 months ago, i bought a green mandarin. i know i know newbie mistake. i did not realize that the only food that they eat is pods. i actually ended up watching him starve to death and finally die. i felt bad.
so my question is is there a goby or blennie out there that does not eat just pods? i like the shape of the fish and the overall personality. i also like the fact that they burrow in the sand and just peek out of there holes.

There are many gobies and blennies that don't eat just pods. Most of them will accept meaty foods. Check out the selection on this website; there's an information box for each fish that'll tell you what it eats.

I have a gobie and to be sure he has plenty to eat I spot feed him with my turkey baster. He seems to do better when I do spot feed him although I've been told that it really isn't necessary.
