mister crabs Posted December 23, 2006 Share Posted December 23, 2006 ok so we want a goby for our new tank to keep that sand lookin good. i have heard a diamond watchman goby works well or a blennie of some kind. what do you guys think? any other sand sifters that do a great job of keeping sand clean? and how deep of a sandbed is required? I am going to starboard bottom in tank then rock and fill sand around so i dont have to worry about the little guy digging around rock and having it fall over. any problems with this plan or suggestions to make it better?

Alterego Posted December 23, 2006 Share Posted December 23, 2006 Diamond watchman gobies do a good job, bullet gobies and dragon gobies do well also. A higher maintenance fish is the twin spot gobie. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mister crabs Posted December 23, 2006 Author Share Posted December 23, 2006 higher maintenance how so? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R-3 Posted December 23, 2006 Share Posted December 23, 2006 I think most twin-spots arent as hardy as most others. Thats just what Ive heard from most people. Ive had a yellow watchman for 2 years and hes been great. Later Ryan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronjunior Posted December 23, 2006 Share Posted December 23, 2006 I've heard and read the twin spotted gobies do better in pairs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldbrownies Posted December 23, 2006 Share Posted December 23, 2006 twin spots need to be kept in pairs, but they stay fairly small too, but without its partner the lonely one will usually die quickly. It's kind of a really cute thing for a fish to do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mister crabs Posted December 23, 2006 Author Share Posted December 23, 2006 how big of a tank would i need for a pair? and are they hard to come by in pairs? I assume you gus are talking about mated pairs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael7979 Posted December 23, 2006 Share Posted December 23, 2006 You can usually find two at a store IF a store can get them in. I have seen them at Advanced and Fanta-Seas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
