I was thinking of getting those fish that eat up sand and sift it through their gills (I always enjoyed watching them in the fish store and aquariums around here), but I have a few questions:
1) Should I get a goby or blenny? And which kind is the best?
2) Goes with 1, but which causes the least amount of trouble? I've heard some will dig out sand from under the live rocks
3) Will they be hurt by eating cyanobacteria or diatoms?
4) I saw that blennies are herbivores, would they help me with my hair algae problem?
5) And most importantly, would any of them have any troubles with my other inhabitants?
