SRC Member kschew1498 Posted January 2, 2004 SRC Member Share Posted January 2, 2004 golden head sleeper goby Some people named it Blue Band Goby. hehe I have got one which eat Brine Shrimp as well but will do a lot of sand re-scaping for you even to the extend of showering your corals on the sand bed with sand.

SRC Member seamonkee Posted January 2, 2004 SRC Member Share Posted January 2, 2004 If u have a deep sand bed in your main tank.... sand-sifting gobies are definitely not recommended... just a note... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRC Member seamonkee Posted January 2, 2004 SRC Member Share Posted January 2, 2004 The purpose of a DSB (5" or more) is to allow an anaerobic area to promote the conversion of nitrate into harmless nitrogen gas deep in the sandbed... Constant stirring of the DSB which promote the flow of fresh oxygenated water will deciminate this effect... Also, a DSB should not be disturbed as doing so will also release the sulphate gas that is formed in your DSB... (Smell like rotten eggs).... A sand-sifting goby will burrow and stir your SB and is not recommended for DSB... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
