Suitable for a tank as small as 10 gallons, the colorful and peaceful court jester goby (Koumansetta rainfordi) is perfect for many marine nano-tanks. They have been documented eating red cyanobacteria. These captive bred specimens are much hardier and easier to feed than wild individuals.

After that, visit www.algaebarn.com/claims and submit the form. We’ll review the photo and have a replacement out to you faster than a six-line wrasse at feeding time.

If the fish is DOA, we will offer you a choice of either a full refund or a free replacement, including the shipping cost. If the fish expires from natural causes (this does not include being killed by tank mates, jumping out of the aquarium, being acclimated to the wrong environment, not being fed the recommended foods) within 7 days after delivery, just provide a picture of the expired fish and we will offer you a free replacement, however, you must pay for shipping, or a refund, less the shipping cost. We can offer this industry leading guarantee on all of our live fish because Captive Bred fish are generally healthier and hardier than their wild-caught counterparts!

My family and I are really enjoying this little fella. It took him a couple of days to settle in and start eating. You could tell he was curious about what the other fish were eating, but couldn’t quite figure out what he wanted. Despite spending a ton of money on fancy frozen foods and live artemia, in the end he was happiest with TDO pellets and some flake food I “borrowed” from my son’s guppy tank. The description says they can be kept together, and I am thinking about adding a second one.
