Are there any information on this Rainfordi goby and the raising of the fry? I know Inland Aquatics sell CB of this type of goby, so I know it has been done. I want to gain an insight on what kind of food does this fish like to eat by learning on how the professionals are raising the fry.
 
It may be like other types of gobies, they lay a coating of eggs in a protected area, best is the large white and pink barnacles that are sold in shell shops, as they can be picked out when the eggs are about to hatch, and put in a fry tank. Also PVC pipes 6 inches by 1 1/2 inches work good, just shove them in the sand at an angle. In the fry tank it is the same as a clown or other goby fry tank, same water as parents tank, several days prior to hatch inoculate with microalgae, day before inoculate with lots of rotifers. When water clears and fish are bigger, maybe put in more strained rotifers, and then some freshly hatched brine shrimp or fresh born if raising adult brine shrimp. Make sure water stays perfect, and do water changes often. keep feeding baby brine shrimp, and when you see color, try to feed flake food, well ground.
