The Koumansetta rainfordi, better known as the Rainford Goby, is a colorful and active bottom-dweller that will delight any marine aquarium enthusiast. This species is unique because it is tank-bred, meaning it was bred in captivity and is therefore better adapted to aquarium life than wild-caught specimens. The Rainford Goby stands out with its slender body and the vibrant orange, green, and blue stripes that run down its flanks. Its peaceful nature and small size make this goby ideal for both novice and experienced aquarists. Furthermore, this fish helps keep the aquarium clean by eating algae and detritus from the bottom. With its unique behavior and vibrant colors, the Koumansetta rainfordi is a valuable addition to your saltwater aquarium.
