Best nano sized sand sifting goby?

[GodOSoot]

I have heard that Yellow Watchman's and similar gobies in size will sift and stir up the sand but not to a degree like their bigger cousins. I was told they can and may do it but don't rely on it but I was still skeptical.

So is this true? I have snails doing that for me now but they don't touch the top layer too much. Would I smaller nano-sized goby mix it up a little bit?

I am going to return the Zebra Dart for money off of a clown because it really wasn't what I wanted. I wanted an actually goby that perched not a fish in the water column.

The watchman will not sift. Only dig one hole to live in I believe.

Try the clown gobies for ones that perch. ALso the bi-color blenny is a good percher.

It was suggested they sand sift when they get bored via an article online.

So I guess it is wrong then.

They may, but supposed they don't get bored?? I wouldn't count on it.

Ya I get your point, I think I may still pick one up anyway. Just not sure which one I like more.

I have a Rainford goby, and he does a great job.

Can you have a sand sifting golby with fire fish and bi-color Blenny?
