Scooter blenny and sand sifting goby

[cathym1078]

Does anyone have both a scooter blenny and a sand sifting goby in their tank? I have a scooter blenny, but want to add a sand sifting goby. Will there be a problem? Are they considered compatible?

I have both and none bother each other.
The scotter blenny usually minds its own business and the goby just sifts the sand freely. Not too sure what the goby is but its white with yellow spots and stirs the sand up.

Thanks. That is what I wanted to get. I had one before I got the scooter blenny, but it jumped out of my tank. I found it dried up on my floor when I woke up. I wanted to get one again, but was concern about the scooter blenny. I learned my lesson and now have a lid on my tank.

When you say sand sifting I assume you mean a goby that gets its food by sifting sand such as the Rainfordi. Those type of fish need a large and well established tank or else they will starve. They do not eat any food you put in the tank. If you want a goby that moves sand around then that is a different story.
