im looking for a new fish that will keep my sand looking good. sometimes my sand will have a little bit of junk in it, off my LR. my sand is also uneven. im just looking for a fun fish to watch that will sift my sand around. he has to be peaceful, compatible with a bicolor blennie and a royal gramma, and pretty hardy. im also going to get a coral banded shrimp and an arrow crab, so hell have to be ok with them. any ideas?

I've got a dragon goby in mine that is always cleaning up the sand.....gets along well with a yellow tang....coris wrasse...tomato clown.....and all the clean up folks.....but he's not killed my 2 damn damsels...if he'd kill them I'd buy him a girlfriend....lol

Do you mean a dragon wrasse?? Anyway,I would suggest a yellow headed sleeper gobie. Mine is a joy to watch,and is constantly sifting mouthfull after mouthfull of sand.The only problem is that he doesn't seem to care where this sand goes after it leaves his gills.He is a peacfull fish and gets along fine with everyting in the tank,including my crabs. I also have an arrow crab,anemone crab,emrald crabs,and I lost count how many hermits.

forgot to mention, the tank is 37 gallon, so that rules out the dragon wrasse. ill look into the goby though, thanks for the help, any other suggestions?
