Rainfordi Goby

Rainfordi Goby, Amblygobius rainfordi, eats green hair algae and is also a sand sifter. This is an incredibly useful and attractive fish. Also known as the Court Jester Goby due to its colorful, almost comical appearance, this animated, hardy, colorful fish grows to a maximum length around 3 inches. Its size makes it perfect for large and for small aquariums. Rainfordi Gobies do great indivually, but given adequate space and a simultaneous introduction, a grouping makes a beautiful display with their grey-blue bodies and orange striping running horizontally along the entire length of the body. This fish typically will not bother any fish, corals, or invertebrates. Care should be taken, however, to ensure that other larger species (or others of a similar species who have established territories) do not pick on the Rainfordi. In the reef tank, it will appreciate the hiding places afforded by Live Rock and corals. It will accept a variety of foods including Brine Shrimp and bloodworms, and will typically accept flake food fairly easily.

Approximate Arrival Size: 1" to 2"
