Sandstorm!!

Got a orange spotted goby couple days ago and he is creating huge sandstorms and it makes the tank look pretty dirty! I dont like it that much, but will he eventully chill? Or is this going to go on forever?

 

Nope he will continue to do so. Love the fish but they dump sand on my frags so I no longer keep them. Big jumpers too.

 

They he isnt putting anything on the corals, but there is no chance of him not creating a sandstorm?

 

It is in their nature to sift sand to find little goodies. Mine never stopped sifting.

 

I know they will never stop sifting, but will the Sandstorm eventully stop?

 

All I can add is my YWG made a stand storm this am in my tank and both are over 3 years old. I guess I will not hold my breath. It usually clears when he is not actively digging, but I am sure my sps do not like it.

 

My Orange Spot Goby still kicks up sand but the cloudy water condition lasted only a few days. Good luck.

 

Okay, I mean mine isnt that BAD..But im picky and i like my water clear, so if the water still gets sandy then im gunna have to get rid of him.

 

no man thats his thing he is going to do it

 

He actually stopped today..I turned on lights after school, tank was cloudy..Waited an hour, tank was not cloudy(Very clear actually) another 2 hours I checked out the tank and it was cloudy, he was building another burrow..When he stops building burrows it seems that the cloudyness stops.
