He must've heard me talking about him... he moved! About three inches.

Maybe in a few months he'll make it to the sand bed.



The owner of the LFS said he thought this was a sand sifter, but I specifically remembered it being listed as a shrimp goby. So...

Should I try to net him now before he wanders, and trade him back? Or is there any chance a sand sifter will be compatible with a shrimp/goby pair in a 90g?


My problem is that I need a big goby, 4" or so. Anything introduced in the 2" range won't fair well. I've got a sixline, a pair of maroons, a pair of damsels, and a pair of bangais. (The bagais are mean!)

All of these pairs were formed around the time I started looking for a new goby. I figured that would be the time to introduce a new fish, before they got too territorial. Unfortunately stores haven't had anything but tiny yellow watchmans.
