sigh....algae sand goby, obviously..

[jorjef]

They are pricey though..and if the sand is too big they get digestive problems and double their excrement production which fuels the algae sand even more!!!
I swear if this hobby doesn't get easier any time soon I'm throwing out the sand and going with bio balls for a substrate.

Thnks guys , looks like I'm off to find a mexican MB sand sifting instant algae goby

Latin name: Algaesiftus instagobus

[sumpfinfishe]

bwhahahaha

but don't forget to add a fresh squeeze of lime before adding the mexican sand, that is after removing the goby but before the acid

You're not getting this, are you? You're missing acid, MB7, Mexico, and probably the left side of a Twix bar. You clearly aren't qualified to keep dolphins...
