Orange Spotted Goby

[B.Pereira]

Hello everyone

I currently have a 23 gallon tank with current inhabitants 2 chromis 2" and 1 clown 2". My sandbed is looking a little dirty as the chromis are messy eaters. I was wondering if adding a orange spotted goby to my tank is possible?

Tank Specs

2232 Eheim filter
Amonia- 0
Ph- 8.2

That would work but be ware they are jumpers. So have your tank lid on tight. I have lost 4 so far over three years.

I have a glass lid bud there is about 3 inches at the back that it doesnt cover... do you think it would jump out... and is it a good sand sifter?

Great sand sifter but mine fit through 3-8 inch egg crate.

I have a pink spotted shrimp goby and havent had any problems with jumping yet. I do not have a cover on my tank. Maybe try one of those!
