Anyone recommend keeping a twinspot goby in a nano cube? I have a 14gal. I wanted to keep one to keep my sand stirred well. I wanted to know if anyone recommends it?

Twin spots, or "four wheel drive gobies" are just as difficult as Mandarins in my opinion, I considered them for my 24 but they are just too sensative and need the pods.
Go for a yellow watchman, I have a mated pair in my 24 and they are AWESOME, one would do fine in a 14, mine eat mysid shrimp like CRAZY.

yeah i want to keep it with other gobies. I want a sand sifting goby to keep my sand stirred because algae is growing on the sandbed.

Bad choice for a nano..twin spot gobies all die. You do not want a sandsifter, you want sand shifters. Sandsifters sift the sand for the infauna, and no nano would have enough to support one. Get a few nassarius snails and step up your water changes. Is it cyanobacteria or what kind of algae?

First it was green algae/lots of hair algae and now growing over it is brown algae. I have enough flow, justtoo much algae, my phosphate shows 0. I also have a phosphate remover as well but nothing is helping. Have lots of snails as well. For some reason I am having problems with my snails. They do not move much during the day, they usually eat algae at night. I dont know if the metal halides causes them light shock because they do not move at all. Some even died. ( I do acclimate them 15minutes before I introduced them into my tank, but still no luck)

Also, I have been doing water changes on time. The Ph is also gets low to around 7.8 every night. I dont know why. I keep adding stable Ph 8.2 and the Ph would stable to 8.2 then by couple of hours drop.My Alk is high and my Calcium is at 23drops which is close to 420ppm. STILL NO LUCK!! I wonder if that is what is causing the snails to die.

It has a much bigger mouth that you would think for such a small fish. .
