definately a diamond gobie...hes a bottom dweller...he wont swim to the top that much like the other gobies dropping sand everywhere...you could also try some sand sifting starfish...

i have a diamond goby and yes the first 5 days my water was filled with small particles but i run a filter sock and all the fine sand is gone and the little dude is the hardest working fish in my tank, very cool fish.

About my experience, too. If you have fine sand that has been undisturbed for a while, one little diamond goby will make a MESS of things! Looked like a nuclear winter in my tank for several days.

Like stuccodude, I just ran a filter sock and "turkey basted" the silt off my rocks every night. Things are starting to clear up now, and my sand bed looks fantastically clean!
