Default What eats copepods?

PS---

Ive had my Hectors Goby for over 5 months, and it`s never eaten any
"fishfood", frozen or otherwise. All Ive ever seen it do is pick off the
rock, filter sand and eat Hair algae when I had it (PAST TENSE BABY!).

Does the Rainford ever eat prepared foods?

a Court Jester goby,


I`m a little late on this thread---sorry. The court jester goby is a
Rainford`s Goby, right? Does he constantly bite the substrate and sift
through his gills?

I`m pretty sure those guys are voracious pod eaters. I have a Hector`s
Goby, which is very closely related and shares the same behavior. When I
researched buying him I read somewhere that when disected, their stomach
contents revealed something like 70% copepods.
