Pink Spotted Watchman vs Diamond Watchman Goby

[djkms]

Hello all,

In the past I had a diamond watchman goby (Valenciennea puellaris). He did a fantastic job keeping the sand clean but boy did he sure make some mountains. I was thinking about picking up another one but I am also considering a pink spotted watchman (Cryptocentrus leptocephalus).

Which one should I go with? His job will be a work area of 72"x27". This time around I will be going with sugar sand and I will have MP40's higher up in the tank with medium flow near the sandbed. Is one a better cleaner than the other? Will one make more of a mess than the other?

Any experience appreciated, thanks!

Get the diamond goby when I got mine all he would was clean the sand.Pink spotted doesn't. Do anything cleans a little bit of sand but not as much as the diamond
