Sand Sifting Gobies

[Widdy]

Hi Folks -

Any members using Tropic Eden Reeflakes or Caribsea Seaflor Special Grade sand and have a sand sifting goby in their tank? I'm restarting my tank with Reeflakes and notice some of the sand is a good size (3-4mm) and don't want to cause any harm.

Thanks in advance on any insight.

I can see the fish getting hurt specially if still small.

It will not hurt your little fishy.

Thanks guys! I'll look for a good sized goby.

I would watch out more for jumping sand sifting gobies.

I lost one when he went managed to jump over an 8 inch open top canopy.

the replacement goby gets into the overflow on a weekly basis but jumps back into the tank eventually on its own.

No worries there, I have a screen over the tank. Kept plenty of wrasses not to have one.
