I've always wanted to add some Bumblebee Gobies to my tank, the thing holding me back is that I understand them to be picky feeders only accepting live foods. This wouldn't work for me as I like to go on my holidays for 2-3 weeks. I gave up on the gobies but recently thought about adding cherry red shrimp to the tank once it's more heavily planted. In theory would the gobies be able to survive off shrimp fry for a couple of weeks? I'm thinking that i'd need to heavily plant the tank to give the shrimp any chance of avoiding extinction, especially with the fish allready living there.
I have a 55gal tank, not heavily planted but slowly getting there. For hardscape just bog wood. Current occupants are an ancistrus, 9 rainbowfish, 2 kribensis and some snails.
I'm thinking that once the plants are dense enough I could add enough shrimp to seed a population. If the population of shrimp manages to grow then I can add the gobies. Any thoughts?
