Heavz,

Depends on what kind of gobies - firefish can coexist, other sand sifters can be territorial, but usually stay in their territory, ,but the larger the tank, the better.

Hope that helps,

Meg..what is it that you don't like about your sandbed? Is it because you have brown stuff forming on it? Your tank is new and new tanks suffer commonly from diatoms (brown stuff on the sandbed...). They do go away as the tank matures. Does that help any?

I have a mated pair of Diamond Gobies in my tank....they sift through the sand all the time....

it also depends on the size of the tank. Gobies that sift sand for food shouldn't be piled into small tanks since the sand bed can't possibly support their needs. Most sand sifters are territorial for this exact reason so I wouldn't recommend it. Other gobies are ok to group though.

definitly be careful with whatchman

definitely be careful with watchman. I have experienced my whatchmans become extremely aggressive towards all the fish just because of their teritorial needs

yeah i dont think im going to get a 2nd one im might try to trade with someone..

If you get a mated pair then you can have two otherwise it depends on the specific goby and how big your tank is. And not all gobies are sandsifters.

get a mated pair of sleeper gobies if you can. they sift thru sand like crazy and are very interesting to watch. Great pro active fish.
