Did the sleepers starve to death? this is common. Try a diamond goby,, they are hardier, take "normal" food more easier and do not put sand everywhere!

no they didnt .. they ate all the time and ate out of the water column ..not just the sand
it was after a water change .. another expensive mistake ... the distilled water PH was wayyy too low .. i got stuff to fix it very soon after and also the nitrates went a little bit up .. lost them, my algae blenny and a cleaner shrimp

i forgot about my 2 little neon gobies
and could a snowflake eel work w/ this set up
i have a blood shrimp but he can go in my 8g nano
