Hi everyone I am ready to start stocking my 170 gallon marine tank! The stock list I have chosen is 4 clown fish, 2 percula n 2 b/w Yellow tang Regal tang Flame angel Coral beauty Orange spotted goby/diamond watchman goby Spotted cardinal Pearlscale butterfly Dragonet

or do that

I think I should barter the fish for a diamond goby

Hi, Hector or Rainford's goby are small, move the sand and don't deplete the fauna. They are both algae eaters and colorful. Your tank is too small for a Golden sleeper, diamond or the long fin.

Most of the gobies that will sift a good amount of sand will get a bit larger than 3 inches -diamond goby, golden headed sleeper goby, long fin sleeper goby- but those will actually sift the sand looking for food rather than shrimpgobies that use their mouths to just move the sand.

Just ordered a par 38 bulb red/blue... Gonna do a up flow ats hopefully up and running on friday :) For now tho i did pick up a diamond goby and hes doing a very good job at keeping my sand nice and clean. Water change coming up sunday :)

A diamond goby should be fine w a full sized cleaner

...a cleaner shrimp and 2 firefish. I know they work well together because Ive had them together before. But now im thinking of adding a diamond goby because they look cool. Iwill get the goby small because they have a rapfor eating shrimp so ill get a shrimp thts big and a goby thts small...

Quote: Originally Posted by Flower Hi, Your rocks should not be so unstable that the fish can topple them...you can't build on shifting sand, the rocks need to be on the very bottom of the tank. A rock slide could crush the critters or break the tank. The fish sifts all the time, if it ever...

Quote: Originally Posted by Jordan S thanks I will consider that too. I haven't really started researching salt water fish that much since I don't plan on getting them till next year sometime. I know that you cant just go to store and come home with 20 fish like you can with a fresh water tank...

I have been reading a lot of posts on here about this type of Goby being bad for my ecosystem due to over-sifting the sand, how they are hard to keep alive because of feeding and just wanted some advice for anyone who's had one or knows more about the species. My tank is 55 gallon, has been up...

...seven months now. I have two clownfish that have been in the tank since day one, a bubble tip sea anemone, one scarlet skunk, and a diamond goby. My water parameters are where they should be. I have about 40lbs of live rock, sand, and hang on back filter. I do not have a sump and protein...

...I have a move in a few months from md to az. This equates to about 38 hrs of travel. I have a nano with a few corals, a tiny clown and diamond goby. Of course there is live rock too. Where do I start??? this isn't a little move down the road. Do I get a UPS back up battery and try to...
