    it will move the lower layers of sand, it wont really clean the top.

    a sand shifting goby would clean the top better

    I had a diamond goby and it only touched about 8-9 in area? Not much more then that. I have a jaw fish and it just attacks the tangs

    diamonds work better in pairs, live longer and feel more comfortable

    Really? good to know that. I did not realize that I figured they would fight. Will the play nice with a watchman goby?

    i meant a mated pair. sorry wasn't clear, they probably will fight if not mated,

    but mated ones are supposed to be alot healthier in the long run

    The LFS around here only have singles. In boston today which is about 1 hr 30 minutes away. I saw they had 4-5 of them in the tank together? they had a bunch of stuff in the tank. I almost bought a new one but they were small and 40 bucks each...... I think way over priced
