Need Help On Feeding Bumblebee Gobys!

[Cal116]

Hi, I have 2 Bumblebee Gobys in a 20 gallon tank with other fish who are a lot more active when it comes to eating time. I've noticed that they will only eat frozen foods (i.e. bloodworms and brine shrimp). They try to eat flake and pellet food but spit it out. I'm having a hard time getting food to the bottom of the tank for them before my other fish eat all of it. Are there any strategies for feeding BGs? Please shed some light or experience for me. I don't want these little guys to starve to death.

Post in the brackish section. You'll get more help. Bumblebee gobies are extremely slow fish that can basically only be housed with others of their kind because of their inability to compete for food. Furthermore, they refuse most food except for live or frozen so don't expect they to eat any flakes or pellets.
