So now I've had the rainford for about a week- it's about an inch and a half. I can see why some say they are difficult- it's peaceful and would probably be harassed to death by some fish- it's mates are 2 chromis, a pink damsel and a striped blenny- some may say I'm nuts but the blenny acts...
The rainford has moved from the back corner to the front/ right side - with a little help from the boss of the tank- the striped blenny keeps everyone in line and is now constantly picking at the substrate :D
I just added 3,000+ pods to the tank- of course the chromis are eating any free floating/ swimming ones- the rainford is doing fine- still in his corner- the striped blenny ( house security ) checks in and keeps the chromis at bay-
On a curious other note I added a sharknosed goby to the 13...
Maybe a hermit- or it moved right away- the guide sheet said that ceriths could take 72 hrs to start moving- the whole crew immediately got to work- very pleased
There have been both good and bad reviews of reefcleaners- I just wanted to share my recent purchase from them- I have 3 tanks- a 13g, a 30g L and a 40B- I had 3 astea, a couple of blue leg hermits and a couple of bumblebee snails in the 13 gal- also a couple of nassarius the have disappeared- I...
Thanks, some member has a pair of Rainfords ( geezer?)- one reason I looked into them- I'm not into big fish- prefer a tank with smaller / medium size fish and more corals- it is a beautiful fish- I have read where some have a bunch- I'll stick to one for now
Had it for about a week- the tank is about a month old- but everything came from another tank- bare bottom. had a slight dino outbreak - only 4 other fish in the tank ( 40b) 2 chromis, a pink damsel and a striped blenny and a few frags- it's eating and has moved from the corner- my only concern...
I have a tailspot in one tank- strictly an algae eater. I thought ( from initial research ) that Rainford's were too- found out after I bought one that they actually just eat pods. The tank it's in was cycled with rock from another tank of mine and with fresh aragonite substrate. I'm not sure...
The Gramma has been bullied to death- keeping the chromis for now- who would of thunk- or it was a combination of the 3- 2 chromis and a very large midas- the falco stayed out of it btw
I'm working on algae scrubbers and growing Chaeto, I have a chamber I started for algae with a submersible strip light (white) and it did start to grow some- just got a 12 w led grow light and switched over to that- looking for a second light for either algae or chaeto- found 20/30/50 w grow...
Green? Bought 4 from Adam's in Chester- had them all in a 30g hex- 3 were harassing the smallest one so I separated them - 2 in each tank- very active/visible and eat like they're starving- had them for about 2 months
I'm starting to think it's the 2 chromis and not so much the midas- Free to anyone who'll take them- I'll even drive 15 miles in any direction from Chester
I have 3 tanks now- each with different fish and I pick them because they're right for the size and supposed to be compatible with other fish in the same tank- in the 13g I have a firefish, Springer damsel, and a sharknosed blenny- all get along fine, in the 30g I have 2 chromis, a falco hawk ...
