Ideas?

Any ideas on any critters to get for my sand? Thanks

How big is your tank and how deep is the sand??

55 gallon, 2 1/2 inch bed

Anyone out there?

Thanks guys!! Would anyone recommend some gobies? If so, how many?

 

[reefnut]

I'd stick with just snails personally... Cerith Snails & Nassarius Snails...

Is there any concerns with gobies?

I think so... IMO anything that eats the critters in the sand are bad for the sand bed. This includes sand sifting gobies, cucumbers, sand sifting stars, etc.

I just thought they ate the poop and stuff. Well, good to know, thanks!
