well now that my sand sifting goby has died i can start looking in to a new one. hopefully i will be moving up to a much larger aquarium in a few months so keep this in mind. i have a well established aquarium 1 year 2 months. i am looking for a goby to sift the sand. my first one was an orange diamond goby. it hopped out after a few days. my last goby was a gold head. i dont know how it died. i want something that isnt to ugly. i was thinking about an orange diamond because it looked pretty good. what else is out there that is good looking??? thank brett
the orange diamond goby is a nice addition to a tank, i have had 3. but for some reason these fish think they can walk and breath air. all 3 of mine have jump out. i am going to buy another type of goby soon and was wondering the same.
I picked up a zebra goby awhile back. He digs a hole for his home, but doesn’t seem to sift sand much more. He’s MUCH more lively and likes swimming out in the open (and into a powerhead) much more than I had thought he would. I’ve had zero problems with him (her?) and it is a very neat hole digger (doesn’t throw sand everywhere)
