Two Spot Goby

[Flyflicker]

I am looking for a good sand sifter to clean my live sand... I have had a sleeper goby in the past and they did a great job. I like the look of the two spot a little better and was wondering if they do as good a job "cleaning" the sand or are they more like the other gobies and just dig holes?

Thanks

The Two Spot goby is not a good candidate, as they generally need very large tanks to remain fed properly.
Most starve to death in captivity.

Sounds like I will be skipping the two spot goby...

That fish is one of the heart breakers for sure.

Thanks Matt, I was hoping you'd chime in.

Is the Brownbarred goby a fish that stirs up the sand so much that the tank is clouded for a couple months? I was looking for a fish that was in between a gold head goby and a sand stirring starfish/cucumber.snails... is this the fish?
