I have a pair of sleeper gobies and they seem to be quite happy except for the fact that their bellies seem to be slightly sunken in. They eat more than any other fish in the tank when its feeding time, so much that a round bump in their bellies appear, but then the next day they look like they have been starved. I only feed once a day though since it keeps my algea in check, should i feed twice a day?

What are you feeding them? Once a day is okay.

You could try a sinking pellet type food to round out their diet a little. It might have more staying power than the mysis?

I feed flakes to my goby, with a treat of mysis. He seems to be very happy and full. I have had him for over a year now and he is as active as ever. He is a diamond goby.

A good variety is always the key. Mine ate everything from mysis, prime reef to formula two flakes to even Nori off a clip.

how often do you feed them...because they constantly eat from the sand bed but it has to be WELL established
