Default Yellow Watman Goby

Does the yellow watchman goby need a sand bed to live?

Nope. They are pretty fragile fish though - cover all pumps.

Fairly aggressive fish too. My "Grey" (grr) yellow watchman goby is easily the most bossy in the tank. She likes to build sand castles. I'm not sure sand is essential to their husbandry, but it's her hobby...

I have a YWG in a BB tank right now, I dont think he minds not having any sand. He is the fatest fish in my tank.

They'll be most content with a sandy home and a pistol shrimp for a den mate, but neither is essential for keeping one.
