lol...not my first choiceBuy an eel?
It is fairly fine. CaribSea Ocean Direct Live Sand.
Highlighting this; sugar fine sand is definitely a blast for diamond gobies but it's generally disliked by tank owners due to it being constantly kicked up by powerheads. Besides that, there are most likely other options for sand sifting, as an article posted here regarding sand sifters suggests that "true" sifters like diamond gobies may not be the best for tanks as they run out of nutrients with time. OP, if you're looking for a good sand aerator, may I direct you to the nassarius snail? Conch snails? Perhaps it may be because I'm a sucker for inverts, but I'd definitely favor these over diamond gobies. Best of luck.
wait till you start placing coral on the bottom and it buries them in sand. I love gobies but won't have another one
It is a very nice dog you have in your profile pic @exnisstech, do you work him in any way?Looks fine for a sand sifting goby
Would you consider this to be fine sand?
I do have a Jebao SLW-10 in addition to the return pump. Cloudiness has not been an issue until I placed the goby in the tank. Hoping that the problem will decrease once he does most of the "remolding" he wants to do.Can't exactly tell from the picture, but it looks finer than mine (mine is around ~1mm grain). Do you have a powerhead? With or without the goby, sugar fine sand proves to be an issue if you're constantly dealing with cloudy water. In my opinion, your tank doesn't look particularly cloudy so I would bite the bullet and care for the goby until the end of its days. Seeing that you're just now having an issue with cloudy water, I wouldn't worry about the sand unless you haven't had any sort of aeration or flow in the tank before.
At the end of the day, it's your call. Monitor the goby's behavior, be patient. As someone else mentioned, it may slow down as it gets used to your tank. If nothing changes, perhaps invest in a cute little snail! : )
I have taken him through quite a bit of obediance and he has passed his shutzhund BH temperament test. Other than that it's just us working together around the house and out in stores like home depot etc. He is awesome out in public. Much better behaved than any of kids ever were. He off lead heels in public and has zero aggression when out but he has no official "work" He's mainly my companion. I tend to have anger managment issues and he is very good at bringing me out of those before they escalate so kind if my self proclaimed service dog I suppose.
I recently replaced my sand to this exact same sand and yes it’s fine. However it works best for fish that love to burry in the sand (For example Halichoeres wrasses).Would you consider this to be fine sand?
