Sand sifting goby!!!

[Carmen]

Once he has sifted through the sand over a period of a couple weeks, the sand storms will be minimal! They really do a fabulous job of cleaning the sand but need to work through the dusty stuff first. Really, it gets MUCHbetter! My water is very clear and I only see "debris" in the water at feeding time/at night when he is eating and getting ready for bed. And it is minimal since my sand is no longer really "dusty" (I have sugar sand).

Really they are worth it!

Well said Carmen I go through this at the store all the time and the water clears up after less than a week. They do a great job after the initial sand storm. You will stir the tank up worse trying to catch it.

Hmmm.. I will take your advise! I'll wait for a bit..

I had a Hector's Goby (who disappeared...have no idea what happened to him...maybe my Bubble coral got him too!!) and he made a mess for the first couple months, but after he got things all cleaned up it wasn't so bad. I do think that they are quite beneficial for keeping the sandbed much cleaner.

Let me know if you want to get rid of him. I will probably take him. Used to have one and I loved him.
