I hate my diamond gobygoby

@Shaddow_wolf169 The diamond goby and turbo snails both kinda look out of place in that little tank anyway.

I wouldn't consider a 125g dt small

Don't get me wrong I like watching my diamond goby mess with the snails and the hermits but I just got every thing cleaned up and he was back at it. He also has a bone with my hippo tang.
 
I have 2 gobies, a orange spot and a pink bar, but no sand sifters. I used to have one, but he made such a mess, I took him back to my LFS. I also got rid of my clownfish because the female was killing any new fish I put in the tank. She was nasty.
 
I have the same issue with mine including picking up matrix rocks and snails and moving them around my 45 gallon he's big about five inches now and I curse him everyday but we love him
Plus he does keep thentank clean
 
I've learned to deal with my goby's games. Just don't put corals where they can get buried and make sure Rockwork is secure. Every once in a while I'll **** him off by fixing his mess and watching him go to work again :rolleyes:
Lol I LOVE doing that to my engineer goby! He is a foot long now so he is big enough for me to read the curse words in his eyes! Love him to bits!
 
Had mine for 8 months. He was great at keeping the sand clean and I didn't mind the piles he made. Once I started putting corals in the sand he had to go. Constantly dumping sand on them and digging under them. Took a few weeks then my daughter was able to sneak up behind him with a net and wham-o he was out!
 
I think My Goby is Gonzo, but the pistol shrimp is what is causing all the piles of sand in my tank....haven't seen my Goby in months.

Deceiving pic in post #1. :)

But if you're looking for a reason to make a change (hence the thread title?), he's still a BIG SAND SIFTER for that tank IMO. Just not as big as I thought at first. ;)
