New gobies

Got Randall and Rainford a couple of weeks ago, and Twin Spot last Saturday.

congratulations. those are a couple of my all time favorite fish. rainford's will need some amount of filamentous algae.

Twinspots are considered a very difficult fish to sustain long term. They are sand sifters and quickly deplete the microfauna therein. But they are stunning.

Good luck to you and your new gobies.

Thanks. The tank is a 180 with a four inch sand bed in the display tank as well as the refugium section of the chaeto ranch in the sump. Rainford gets a daily pinch of hair algae from the sump, and constantly picks at the rockwork. Twinspot is a sifting machine! Plenty of food for them, my pair of Blue Spotted Yellow Watchmans with shrimp pal, a spotted mandarin and a Starry Blenny. Thinking about more Goby/Shrimp pairs.

Anyone keep multiple goby/shrimp pairs?
