Best type of Goby for sifting sand?
 

What is the best type of goby for sifting and cleaning the sand? I was told a ladder goby works well?

I use watchman's in mine. They sift well and don't swim around with their mouths full making a mess on the rockwork and corals like some gobies do.

Had a Sleeper Goby that went through the sand pretty good.

Negative was he'd take a mouthful then rise up ~6" and spread sand over everything.

I had the golden head sleeper goby and he would dump the sand over eveything ....gets pretty annoying

I use two Golden Head sleepers...they do a great job, but do dump sand everywhere....and I mean everywhere.

i would also say sleeper gobies if you dond mind the sand everywhere like in my tank...lol:redface:

I would say you guys just confirmed my point about the watchman's.:lol: They sift like a machine and are well behaved.

I had a orange spot goby that did a great job stirring the sand. It would stay in one spot and filter the sand. It never would swim up and dump sand on the corals.

I second this, great sand sifter dosen't make much mess.

I've had them before and yes they are good
