Help! Goby dying!!!

[astross89]

Our dragon goby is extremely thin and dying. Our water levels are perfect. He's been sifting sand... even yesterday.. but not as much as normal. He never eats pellets or our anything from the frozen variety bag. I honestly think he's starving to death. He's in our quarantine tank now. Any suggestions? Anything to put in there to get some nutrients in him? Any help is greatly appreciated!!!

Try some live feeder guppy fry.
I'm not normally one to suggest live foods, but it may be that he will eat fish fry and live to learn to accept frozen.
My own goby, a white watchman, eats everything that goes into my saltwater molly tank, including mysis, krill, FormulaTwo and the molly fry.
Good luck, I hope this helps.

Did you see this fish eat at the store? If he is sifting sand then he is looking for food in the sand. What kind of sand do you have in the qt?
