Can a Diamond Goby be added to a tank with a Yellow Watchman?

I have a Yellow Watchman Goby in a 75 gallon tank. Can I add a Diamond Goby to it? Will they get along?
I don't the the Watchman is going to sift the sand as much as I need, and want to add the Diamond Goby.

depends on the size of your tank, it worked for me in a 75 gallon. I had a yellow watchman that kept getting sucked into my over flow box. I thought he had died. I replaced him with another yellow watchman. Approximately 3 weeks later I was cleaning my over flow box and low and behold the original one was still alive. I put him in the tank and was waiting for the fight that never took place. They ended up a mated pair and have spawnwd 3 times in the last year. They have there own nesting area and as long as the diamond doesn't enter within 6 inches of their home everything is cool. Its funny how fish of the same family can have completely different behaviors. The diamonds are very active sand sifters and the yellows never sift.

I used to have a Yellow Watchman and Diamond Sleeper in a 125, and they had a few arguements in the beginning, but ended up sharing the same burrow. It's all going to depend on the tank size.
