bumble bee gobies

[spottedbovine]

Hi all, uneducated lfs workers make me , I purchased 2 gobys on sat, was told they will
eat flake..........found out this is not true, they have eaten my 2 day old guppy fry.well at least they have had something to eat but I don't know if the guppies will produce enough goby food...so if there is anyone out there in SA jhb that can take care of or who wants a pair of gobies u can have them just let me know when u r coming )

 

[Silly me]

i'm in SA but not to close to JHB, cant you take them back for a refund??

 

[spottedbovine]

I don't think they would take them back........but I would only be able to check on sat
morning and I dunno if they will last that long

If you want them or know someone who would you are welcome to take them

have you tried frozen food or growing bbs? because here its like 4 usd for like 40 lil punchouts of food

Have not tried frozen, don't have any and will only get to the lfs this weekend......the only person who has brine shrimp stays quite far from me and won't be able to get there for a while

Hey no way a friend of mine is in the UK, he hates it but loves the money...lol specially when he comes here for holidays

I have a pair of bumblebees the gf brought hom.. they will eat frozen stuff, especially brine shrimp although they have trouble choking down the big pieces. I have seen them hit the flakes, but they always spit it out. I have seen them eat some of the pellet food.. but not reliably.

I dont feed them frozen very often, and they seem to do ok.. I suspect they get a lot of nutrition eating guppy and danio fry. Fine by me. They seem to be flourishing so they must be eating something.


Regards,

Thanks artuk, they didn't make it........last time I buy from that fish shop, gonna rather drive 50Km to a reliable supplier, he does not have great variety but his fish are healthy and looked after and by far the cheapest

Thanks everyone for the help

You could try and grow brine shrimp.
