Would you get a sand sifting goby again?

[_E_]

I'm slowly working on the stocking list for the 140 and thought about adding a diamond goby. I've never had one before, but have heard some people comment that the constant excavation (and sand everywhere) drove them crazy. For those that have had a sand sifter, would you add one again?

I love my diamond watchman goby! My sandbed has never looked so good. And a perfect fit in my 74g with the flame angel, 1 chromis, a breeding pair of percs, a starckidamsel and yellow tang.

I've been happy with my diamond watchman. Yeah he digs sand all the time but has yet to cover any rock or corals.

I'm thinking I would love watching it work and the clean sandbed would be great. My only resevervation is because of a massive tomato clown I once had. She would fan the sand so hard that there would be a huge sand storm in the tank and the bottom glass would be exposed. I swear, she always waited until I left the room to do it. I both loved and hated that fish. Lol

I remember seeing yours the night I picked up that 75. That's part of what planted this thought in my head. [emoji1]

I lost two scolys and a beautiful open brain before I was able to get that fish out of the tank. Get some nassarius snails to move your sand bed

One of my favorite fish and it has a great work ethic.
