Diamond Goby Problem

[molodets]

Hello Everyone!
I can't find an answer to my question.
I have Diamond Goby in my 75 gal.

I Constantly have sand stormes in my tank...
If I get goby out then sand will be dirty.

Do you have any advice on what I can do?

Thanks!

You can give it to me lol
theres nothing you can do other than lower your flow I hope you have a cover on your tank they jump

Nassarius snails
fighting conch
smaller gobies that dont stirr up as much sand

Is Sea Cucumbers good idea?

I dont like them as much as a handful of snails

You asked about this a couple of weeks ago, before you got the fish, right? See, I told you! Had the same experience. Water didn't clear until the fish jumped out of the tank one night. You won't be able to get him out unless you have no rock in there anyway.

Wait for it to jump out?? LOL just kidding. I had the same problem with a diamond in my nano, very hard to get it out without ripping the tank apart or get a trap. But even then may be hard. Good luck!

I thought about getting a trap. There are some people who try to use a baited bottle. There are acrylic traps that you can buy. Don't know how well they work.

LOL the diamond head goby.....probably the worst thing I had in my tank EVER.....It would just literally take a mouthful of sand, swim to the top and just drop it all over the place. I got lucky and managed to catch it, but you definetly wanna get it out of there. It will only cause a huge mess. Narcissus snails are the best for sand.
