Curator's Note

These Tank Raised Rainford's Gobies have been reared in captivity and will accept readily available prepared foods. They are fully acclimated to aquarium life and much more hardy than wild collected specimens.

Other Common Names

Court Jester Goby, Old Glory Goby

Description

This non-aggressive fish needs to be placed into a well established aquarium with a sand bed to graze on and are often bullied by hawkfish and dottybacks. Can be kept in small groups providing they are in an aquarium 100 gallons or larger with plenty of hiding spaces.

These fish love to eat algae and will often pick at hair and turf algaes in an aquarium.

Diet

Feed a varied diet consisting of small meaty foods. These foods include chopped krill, enriched brine shrimp, finely chopped squid, and mysis shrimp. It is also a good idea to occasionally supplement with some type of herbivore diet.
