CANARY BLENNY- Have a poor survival rate.
CITRON GOBY- Nice color, good personality.
CLOWN BLACK- No color.
CLOWN GREEN- Same as Citron
CLOWN YELLOW- Same as Citron
DIAMOND GOBY- May starve in a 20g if it won't accept food. Not large enough sandbed.
DRAGON GOBY- Not much color, tends to hide.
ENGINEER GOBY- Not much color, tends to hide. Will re-arrange your sandbed alot.
FIREFISH- Better in pairs, jumpers. Good color and personality.
FORKTAIL BLENNY- Colors are somewhat muted, but a bit more rare, and nice personality.
HARBOUR GOBY- Don't know?
JAWFISH DUSKY- Less color than tiger jawfish.

About the rainford...mine never has ate anything and is getting fat. Had him 5-6 weeks. Did see him eat hair algae but haven't had any since he ate it. Chews up sand and rock but don't know what he is getting out of it. He gets along fine with my firefish and yellow clown goby. Very low or no maintenance on the rainford. They live in a 10 nano with a fire shrimp.

didnt read the whole list there.. but i saw my first purple firefish in person the other day and if i thought my 5.5gal could handle the extra load id get it... probably the most beautiful fish ive seen in person....

i acutally thought about starting a FOWLR just to get it...

Yeah, you may be pushin the envelope with just that one fish. I would add a small airstone if you see him gasping in the morning. I run one 24/7 because I am running too heavy a bio-load. I have 4 fish in a twelve but all is well until the unexpected happens. No room for error. I will be changing this situation as I have bought another tank.

never ever seems to be gasping always exploring something that looks new to him.. and what difference would morning from night make?
