we have a diamond we really like, however the dang thing cleared so much sand out from behind the reef, the reef became lose and part of it toppled over this morning, so i needed to fill its holes today.. little bugger....

That's what they do. Now you know why LR in the tank first followed by the sand.

We love our goby too. He has built a nice house for himself. I think it even has a basement. He comes out in the mornings and covers the door at night. Gonna have to buy more sand so he can build a condo for himself.

Ahhh, well said Gary. You're always right. My ornate goby is become the same way; digging and digging. I did not know that all gobies had a little engineer goby in 'em. I won't get any more.

That is so true !!!

I had a diamond goby in my new tank, but I think he went MIA.

No rocks for him to tumble though, I dids my rock from the glass up, then added the sand...

I would like to get a diamond goby in the future, what grain size of sand are you guys using for them? I cant find anything telling me which they prefer. I am debating between the .2 to 1.22mm stuff and the 1 to 1.7mm sand. Any suggestions about which way i should go?

I just got my second one yesterday. My first one jumped out. The smaller the grain the better. I have .1-1.0 sand. Its a lot easier for him. The LFS has 2.0 mm sand and he still shuffles through it but doesnt seem as easy.

i used to have one but he jumped out of a 3 inch hole in the top so make sure ur hood is totaly covered
