what does ‘dracula goby’ eat?

[EmmaPark]

I have a pair of Dracula gobies in my tank. They're not a pair yet, but I put in extra as a consolation anyway, even though they're expensive.
But Dracula gobies don't eat anything.
Some people are told to give them flakes, but they don't eat them either.
People who succeeded in feeding them what did you give them?
They don't even eat live brine shrimp.
Can anyone give me some detailed tips?

You can try mysis shrimp. they are a meaty food eater. Also, if they are not comfortable with their environment that might be a factor. They like sand to burrow in.

Maybe it's because it's still a period of adaptation.
My royal gramma does react aggressively to them. I think it's because of the obsession.
This will give them anxiety.

But I built several houses for them, so I believe they'll adapt well. They don't even eat the frozen mysis shirimp I have, so I'll try something from another company. Thank you for your advice.

Your welcome and thank you.
Keep on trying. I had a Raccoon Butterfly than would only eat finely chopped raw shrimp in the beginning. You can try a seafood melody and chop it up in the blender. Also maybe add some liquid garlic also.

How long have you had them? They might not eat the first day or two....

They might also be stressed out to be out in the open like that, maybe put a pvc pipe or a rock in there for them to hide.

One is 5 days, it's eating flakes today!.
And the other one came in yesterday.

The aquarium also said that had never seen it eat for a month..
