Banded sleeper goby with crushed coral?

[ccbobafett]

I was just wondering if a sleeper goby would be ok with crushed.

Thanks

I've never had an issue with any goby or wrasse in a tank with crushed coral. If they can't dig a burrow, they have always just found a hole or crevice in the rockwork to sleep in.

I was just wondering because I believe they sand sift and live in sand so just wanted to make sure it was ok.

Thanks for help

No problem. I had a diamond goby several years ago, which is also a sand-sifter. While he couldn't sift cc, he still dug tunnels in it. He also swam around grabbing food at feeding time. FWIW, most fish will adapt to their new environment. The most important aspect is making sure they're receiving the proper nutrition... i.e. if it's a planktivore, feed it plenty of plankton.

Stay away from the fine sand Sleeper puts it everywhere

Thanks for the tip, glad to know I should be able to House one.

Have you kept sand sleeping wrasses with crushed coral before? I always wanted one but thought crushed coral would prevent it.

Will do, heard many stories of sandsifters causing sand storms in many tanks.

Thanks for suggestions.

Yes. Again, they find a hole or crevice in the rockwork.

Thank you for all the help I really appreciate it, I might try this and if it doesn’t work move h to another with finer sand.
