Its olive-coloured body is adorned with bright orange stripes, making it a real gem in the marine aquarium. But it doesn't just have a lot to offer visually: It actively helps to keep algae deposits on rocks in check and filters fine sand in search of food - all without messing up the tank!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFood requirements: Gourmet with a preference for algae\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eKoumansetta rainfordi\u003c\/em\u003e is an omnivore with a preference for benthic microorganisms such as Tigriopus or Tisbe copepods. It loves to forage for food between stones and therefore requires a well-established substrate - it is all the happier with a light coating of algae and occasional filamentous algae. Our aquacultured fish are food-safe and also like fine frozen food such as Cyclops or Artemia - the main thing is that it is small enough!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKeeping: Space for retreats\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThis petite fish is rather reserved and needs quiet tankmates. Too much hustle and bustle in the tank stresses it out. A reef structure with sufficient crevices and caves is essential for it to feel safe. Although it can also be kept as a pair or in small groups, it feels comfortable on its own (and this species is often found as a loner in the wild) - ideal for aquarists who are only looking for a single bottom dweller!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u0026nbsp;\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTip: Jump guard \u0026amp; fine substrate\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLike many gobies, the Rainford's goby tends to jump out of the tank in panic. A cover or a close-meshed net is therefore recommended. The substrate should also be fine enough so that it can search for food easily. Sand that is too coarse or even sharp-edged gravel would be counterproductive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eConclusion: A must for lovers of well-kept sand bottom\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhether as an algae eater, gentle sand filter or simply as a visual highlight - the Rainford's goby is an enrichment for any reef aquarium from 150 litres upwards.
