sand sifting goby

[degbowl]

I was looking for a sand sifting goby that is not a jumper. It seems like every fish that I see that I like is a jumper.

i would say just about every sifting/shrimp goby you come across has the potential to jump out of the tank. Diamond gobies do a great job of sifting the sand, and a friend of mine has one with open top and never had a problem...

my diamond goby jumped out, and i have a glass canopy. you could try cutting some egg crate to cover your top.

I googled egg crate and came up with either stuff for a bed or something used to diffuse light. I assume it is the latter. Where do I get egg crate?

You can get eggcrate from Home Depot or Lowe's or just about any hardware store.
