Hi All,

I am looking for some ideas for a really cool, yet effective sand sifting goby. I currently have 3 chromis, 2 ocellaris clowns, 1 lawnmower blenny, 1 cleaner shrimp, scarlet hermits, and astraea snails. Can anyone offer any suggestions? Thanks!

What size tank?

offminded

55 gallons...i suppose i can update my tank info.

nate

I would stay away from the Mandarin Goby. They will eat the inverts. I have also heard that they are pretty hard to keep as well. I never really got into Goby's. So this probably isn't much of a help.

offminded

yeah...i have heard bad things about them...none of those for me...

nate

They are really cool looking. But I know you put money into your inverts and probably don't want them to disappear! Take a look at the yellow watchman goby. That might be what your looking for. Maybe a Panda Goby if your up for a challenge. Panda's are harder to tend for. But are much smaller than the watchman.

the watchman was one of my first choices...i love the color!

nate

Yeah for sure. Those are the only two i am familiar with. There are so many to choose from. It will be a good addition to your tank. I just never really got into them.

offminded

yeah...and i could use the bright color to add some more color

i was thinking the yellow watchman or the diamond goby...any thoughts?
