Pink spotted goby

Will it sift sand? Will it go well with 2 clownfish?

 

I have a `4inch PSWG, and 2 clowns currently.

I do have a plethora of caves, channels, etc.

They all get along fine.

He sifts the CC sanbed I have some.
He carries lots of small hermits and snails around, puts them in his lair/den, they the leave.

 

I got him to clean up my sand. Will he do that or did i get the wrong goby for that job?

 

IMHO- he won't 'sift' that much.

Some one else on this matter?

 

Mine does not sift often. Small piles but does not turn the sand by any means. Worked w my pistol shrimp before he ate him and my sexy shrimp.

 

Well dang. I don't even want it now. I just got it tonight and was told by the lfs that it would sift my sand. Hopefully i can return it which i doubt. If not then idk what I'm going to do with it.

 

It's a nice fish I would keep it, get a pistol to go with it. A pistol shrimp will sift your sand like no tomorrow.

I would stay away from any of the sleeper gobies, they will starve in your tank.

 

I should've just waited and got the diamond goby liked i wanted. If i cant return him then i guess ill keep him and get the pistol because i really need something for my sand.

 

Use a Fighting Conch or Nassarius snails to clean the SB.They are much less likely to starve and will not make a mess by depositing sand all over the LR and/or corals. Trying to remove the Goby now will be very difficult and stressfull for the fish.

 

yes, keep the goby and get a pistol shrimp for my .02
