Is this fish right for me?????

[IrishLuck]

I need help because, I really really really really really like the Rainford's Goby. And I built my own hang on the back sump. and I heard that they almost never eat any frozen food. Except the things that in the sump (can't remember what they are called). And i don't want to make the same mistake that i made with my Banggai Cardinal (He never eats anything except Ghost shimp which I have heard that is very very weird but none the less it is kind of fun to watch). So i would like to know what you guys have to say.

check on ...themarinecenter.comhas some good info on the rainford goby.

Also I forgot to tell you guys that i have a 28 gallon tank but, i think that it doesn't matter because from what i read was that it is a nano tank fish.

filamentous algae is what it needs to survive..look at this web also,advancedaquarist.com

thats not correct,they can go in your tank.just pick the correct companionsthey need at least 20gal to live in.some say 30gal.what other fish do you have.just remember they are very shy at first and a peaceful fish.

I really like my rainfords goby, very peaceful. I have it in a 54 gallon with a pair of anthias, flame hawk, a pair of orange skunk clowns, & a banggai cardinal. I have not seen it eat any of the frozen foods that I feed. I do see it picking on the live rock and picking through the aragonite on the bottom of the tank.

Advanced Aquarist is a Reefs.org online reefkeeping magazine. It would help if you linked to the specific article in the archives. In this instance, the article in question is nearly five years old. It's in the March 2005 issue.

Thx for that info I got the Rainford's Goby and he is kind of staying by himself and not doing much. But every once and a while he comes out. But I will just have to see. But anyway I hope he comes out a little more and if you could help me come up with a name for him.
