Just got a diamond goby and he's doing great. Musta been a bulldozer or home decorator in a former life. HE has absolutely turned my tank upsidedown 2 or 3 times already and I've only had him for a week. Do these guys eventually calm down or can I look forward to him turning over my 3-4 inch sandbed over every couple of days for the rest of his existance?
 
yes

yes

Yes you can, that is what they do, and then they spit the sand on your clams. I love this fish, but I would have a devoted tank for them, and they need alot of room. A small sandbed will not have enough nutritional value for them unless they will eat supplements. Some do and some don't and eventually starve to death.
 
Yea.. Mine sifted nonstop...It got to the point I couldn't stand all the free floating sand...It was a sad & a Happy day the day He Jumped out .:hmm5:
 
Well I don't have to worry about him starving. He's readily taking pellets, haven't tried mysis yet. At first I thought he was just sifting them out but was able to confirm he kept'em down. Hmm well hopfully a turkeybaster and a few water changes will clear things up.

Thanks folks
