watch man gobby and sally light foot

[pondy]

I just have a question, I have had a watchman gobby that has been doing really well but it stopped eating and I havent seen it eat in like 1 week. I have seen that the sally lightfoot crabs kinda jump at my false percs. everynow and again. I have also observed that my watchman has a hurt lip. I have tried to feed him all kinds of things from brine shrimp to mysid shrimp, to flake, he was eating all of this before, would he be eating something during the night? Could the crabs have attacked him so now he wont eat cause his lip is hurt? HELP PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

:scared: :scared:

Sally lightfeet (is that the way to pluralize that??? oh well) can get pretty aggressive, and since the goby is also a bottom dweller, there can definately be a problem. It's possible that the sally is pickin on him, and that's why he's not eating.
Try soaking your food in extreme garlic (should be available at your LFS). Fish go nuts for it! This should kick-start his desire to eat again.
I'd also consider getting rid of the sally, they're best for aggressive tanks...
Hope everything works out for you!
