Sandsifter

[Kristy]

Our diamond goby is the hardest working fish in our tank, hands down. He constantly moves the sand, very busy guy and fun to watch. Keeps our sand looking really white.

Nassarius if you want snails. If your looking for a fish I would say a banded goby. There a little hardier than the sleeper goby and and don"t make that much of a mess as compared to the sleeper.

Bought a few Nassarius snails today but will most likely be buying a Goby within a week.

I keep a golden headed sleeper gobie also. Works great but loves to deposit sand everywhere as it swims. My yellow headed jaw fish does a good job of moving sand when he wants also. I also use the different snails mentioned. One sand sifter I have is a conch that buries itself completely in the sand only to emerge to snag something to eat. I bought a some peppermint shrimps and one died b4 I got home. well I decided someone would eat it and dropped it in the tank. Immediatelly the conch came out of nowhere and drug the shrimp down under the sand. Was way cool to watch.

I've had pretty good luck with my 2 sand sifting starfish. I've had both of them for well over a year now and they both appear to be completely heathy. They are in my 40g.
