    I am looking at getting a new fish or two and wanted something that will mix the sand up to keep things a little cleaner. Will a sleeper head goby i think thats what its called it has a yellow head and whitish body get along with my YWG?

    There will probably be some conflict. What size is your tank?

    No, i woudlnt think there would be a whole ton of conflity since they both are not the type of fish..The Sleeper has a different body shape and will sift sand..The YWG will mostly just stick by its burrow and hang out.

    But what size is your tank?

    But, the problem is that if he has a small tank they are likely to run into one another. They both spend a majority of their time on the sandbed
