janasleah Posted March 24, 2005 Share Posted March 24, 2005 I think I could use one of these guys, because my pod population is out of control. They look like fleas on a neglected dog...one of the amphipods is about 1/2" long! I have a 5g hex tank, and the one fish was going to be a green clown; but would a Rainsford's work instead? Or is it too big? Thanks! Link to comment
lgreen Posted April 23, 2005 Share Posted April 23, 2005 well, rainsfordi gobies are herbivores (or maybe omnivores), but they mainly eat algae, not pods. I would go with a green clown goby, as rainfordis are probably just a hair to big for a five, plus it may starve if there is not enough algae and other goodies for it to eat. they get to be like 2.5-3 inches when full grown.

janasleah Posted April 23, 2005 Author Share Posted April 23, 2005 Thanks Captain, I'd already come to that conclusion....maybe someday w/a bigger tank with a 'fuge.... Link to comment
Tivoboy Posted April 24, 2005 Share Posted April 24, 2005 I had one that wouldn't eat prepared foods and eventually starved. Also, mine didn't eat any algae, but seemed to pick at the algae looking for pods... Link to comment
