Sand sifting goby

[spoot]

I have a Valenciennea strigata, yellow head sleeper goby, which is suppose to be a very good sand sifter. Mine only sifts in certain places, and leaves most of the sand alone. I think the orange spotted may be better.

I have the same yellow head sifter. The little dirt bag used to sift the sand close to the bottem in the corner. I.E. away from everything. Now he sifts all over the entire tank and he enjoys taking a mouthfull of sand up into the jetstream. I'm pretty sure he likes to watch me turkey baste everything off

I'll see how I deal with the little bugger. I think if I had a bigger tank it wouldn't be a problem but this guy is just full of energy. I find it really enjoyable to watch him go about his business though.
