Good sand sifting fish

[Blakskall]

I need a good sand sifting fish/invert for my 30 gallon tank besides a goby, i already have a watchmen goby and he really doesnt sift the sand that much..

Nassarius snails.

cucumbers work pretty well too!

 

[Blakskall]

Yeah but idk about the cucumbers they need alot of room ive heard

Definitely the nassarius snails...I have 3 in my 40 gallon, they do a great job.

Thanks ill try tht, would 2 in my 30 gallon be fine?

I would say goat fish but I think they need a bigger tank

I would probably add 5-7. Just because theyre SOO small. I have like 10 in my 150 and I wish I got around 30-40.

Nassarius are great. I have four in my 24 and they keep it spotless.

I have about 14 in my 40 gallon and 6 in my 20. They do an awesome job. Also look at sand sifting starfish
