[yellow tang lover]

I don’t know how old your tank is but if you do wait 4-5 months for the sandbed to contain enough food to sustain it. I love the personality and it helps keep the the sandbed turned over, clean and white. They can be a little messy the first few months until they find their permanent den.

What do you mean by wait for sand bed to contain enough food, is it referring to the leftover food post feeding?

well my tank is around 1 years old and my sand bed is pretty dirty

Ya, but all that lives in the sand that the goby eat.

I say yes! Lots of people say they need a 70 gallon (usually my LFS people) cause they can get big compared to other blennies, but my dude Mo would do just fine in this size I think. He does swim around for a few minutes every hour but then back to his barnacle! One of my favorite fish. I 100% say buy him a barnacle cause they LOVE them and none of the other fish could care less about barnacles. Plus he is so cute with his head poking out!

I ordered these skeletons on amazon and put them in my tank for him and they were instantly his!

 

[yellow tang lover]

Good to go! You’ll love it!

Wait, if you put sand first is it ok?

Hmm, not sure what you are asking. Do you have a bare bottom tank? If so I wouldn’t put a sand sifting goby in. If you’re asking because you have a bare bottom tank and will add sand, then you will need to wait the time I mentioned for flora and fauna to become enough to sustain it. I might have totally misunderstood your question.

No like if you put sand before the rock is that ok?

 

[kevgib67]

It is recommended to place the rock on the glass bottom and then add sand so the rock is more stable. The rock bottom isn’t usually flat so there should be little caves or arrange the rock against each other leaving space near the bottom.
