KingFish Posted March 22, 2004 Share Posted March 22, 2004 Though the following is not as many as the surgeonfish & anthias, I'm just wondering how many of you own a Goby? I do apologise if I missed out any, but if you have any type do tell ... particularly the exotic ones such as the Blue-Banded or Eviotas. Also in part of celebrating my 999 post Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRC Member nicholasloh Posted March 22, 2004 SRC Member Share Posted March 22, 2004 Very few choices, but i understand... I have 2 Golden Sleepers. Very hardy. They're friendly too. Usually play around the 4 spot wrasse. And they help me get rid of the dead polyps. they bite them and let them float around, then i dispose them.

SRC Member hypervtec Posted March 23, 2004 SRC Member Share Posted March 23, 2004 juz lost my rainfordi yesterday, . main reason for the cause is starve to death. RIP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingFish Posted March 24, 2004 Author Share Posted March 24, 2004 Just realised what a badly thought poll it is ... well, I was kind of in a rush Anyway, the Rainfordi requires a fair amount of budding algae and sand fauna to feed on. That's why it makes sense that they are introduced in an established tank. Mine feeds on live brine shrimp and bits of frozen mysis/brine. I also dose DT to help boost the pod / sand fauna population. Its pretty hardy, so its just a matter of giving them additional sustenance.
