Clown goby has sunken belly, HELP!

[ram man]

My clown goby is getting worse! he still wont eat!, ive tried brine and mysis. he wont eat anything. if he doesnt eat should i return him? what should i do?

and this summer i am going away for 1 month, that means my family will be taking care of the tanks, by this summer i am going to down size to only one salt water tank and nothing else, so what tank should i keep?

can you list the tanks you have.

As for the clown goby is his stomach actually disformed or is he just not eating?

Mine wouldn't eat when I first got him. I had him two weeks before I started feeding him piscine energetics mysis. It is a different type of mysis that the lfs was feeding them so I bought some and you'd think he was starving the way he attacked it the first time I fed it to him. Since he will eat anything with vigor except pellets. He usually eats formula one flake alternating with the mysis, formula 2 flake. Keep trying I am sure he will eat

Mine liked the formula one and other frozen foods...unfortunately I lost him because he ran out of pods to eat in the tank and I didn't know that brine shrimp weren't healthy enough to keep him alive and thats what I was feeding him primarily. If he really wont eat you might try hatching some brine shrimp for him...and then try to get him to eat some other stuff.
