Diamond Gobies!!!!!

[reefboys]

I LOVE these guys! They are the funniest fish in the world! While I type this, I'm watching my pair of Diamonds completely bury the biggest piece of LR in my tank lol. I don't know why they're doin it but they've been workin at it for the last 10 minutes and have almost completely buried it! And on the other side of the tank they created a giant hill for no apparent reason lol. The funniest thing ever though was when they both picked up a total of 4 hermit crabs in their mouths, carried them to a pit that they had dug on the other side of the tank, threw them in it and preceded to spit sand on top of them in attempts to bury them... HAHAHA, these are seriously the coolest fish ever!

Can a Diamond Goby be added as the last fish? A Flame Angel was added a month ago

Yeah I don't see why not. They're smart enough to stay out of the way of any would-be attackers.

just the other day i turkey basted all my rocks - they were cleaned off and looked great - an hour later i came back to the tank and my goby had covered one of my base rocks almost completely !

Mine moves sand all day. I think they can be considered not only sand sifters but shifters as well. I have hills all over the place and he has dug all the sand from under the rocks. Good think I put the rock in before the sand otherwise potential landsides might have killed him.
