Description
The Rainford’s Goby is a small, peaceful fish that adds a pop of color to reef aquariums with its vibrant orange stripes and subtle olive body tone. This goby is an excellent choice for nano tanks and is best suited for peaceful community setups. Known for its algae-grazing habits, it often sifts through the substrate, helping maintain tank cleanliness. It thrives in a well-established tank with live rock and sandy substrates. An omnivorous diet including algae, mysis shrimp, and small pellets ensures its well-being, making it a relatively easy species to care for in reef settings.
