Sand sifting fish (1 Viewer)

Anyone know what other fish sift sand through their gills like the Diamond goby?

Thanks

very similar look, but I keep a yellow headed sleeper goby in my tank (not looking to part with it). Neat little guy to watch.

thanks for info. Yea im mainly looking for fish that have that behavior. :biggrin:

Diamond Goby would be my choice, they sift sand without causing a sand storm. The sleeper goby is a nightmare if you have corals in the middle to sand bed area in your display tank. They will burry them and potentially kill'em.
