Rainfords Goby
We added a Rainfords today to my wife's 14G biocube and then read that they often die in a new tank due to lack of food. Does anyone else have one that is eating anything, mysis, brine etc? He's a neat little guy, sifting the sand like crazy but we don't want him to starve.
Oh and... it seems as though firefish enjoy an occasional snack of sexy shrimp

If it's 'pods that they need to eat you can buy live pods - "Tigger pods" I saw them for the first time in person yesterday, crazy, it's really a bottle of live pods! They're "prettier" than regular pods too and will breed in your tank. Something to think about anyhow
 (I saw them at J&L but they probably have them elsewhere too, I don't know how far Ladner is)

it should be noted though that tigger pods are a temperate water species (hence the refrigerated bottle). If you want to add them into your tank and have them reproduce, you will need to acclimate them.
A 14g is not enough to sustain a constant population of pods while a predator is in there. If you can find a way to hook a big enough fuge up to the biocube (i know some people have done it), then you might be set.

Wendel has those tigger pods as well and he has the dead ones to that you can just use as food as well.
Looks like that might be worth a try.
