Most Effective Sand-Sifting Gobies

[jonboyb]

I'm looking to add a sifter to my 28 with a 2" sand bed (reef sand mix with argonite and finely crushed coral). I have nassarius snails but not happy with their ability to keep the sand stirred. What smaller gobies are REALLY good sifters?

My dragon goby is always working the sand bed over.

The one I had did the same, for sale too, its a Keen Reef at this time.

We got a twin spot from Keen Reef that's VERY busy constantly sifting. He's in our 70 gal. so I don't know how he'd do in a nano.

Likes to bury things though and create drifts in the sand.. Mostly buries things though lol

Aren't about all species of watchman gobies fairly busy? They tend to stay smaller too. I would love to use a diamond....but they can get to 6".

I've got a dragon goby covers everything i've got!

Can't dragon gobies get REALLY big? Like over 10"
