The diamond goby does a really good job at turning the sand and keeping it white. Make sure your rocks are on the bottom glass because they like to dig under rocks.

I love my diamond goby. He's super fun to watch....he will grab an empty hermit shell and pack it into his cave he made!

This fish will really keep your sand bed clean. DO NOT purchase if you don’t have sand. They will burrow under your rock work so make sure you have glued your rocks together or than can collapse. Having copepod for it to eat in the sand bed will keep a diamond goby very happy.

A diamond is a great addition to any tank as they keep the sand pristine on top and are so cute when the eat and spit the sand.

Love watching my goby go in and out the rocks and him walking on the sand bed. Just wish there was more coloring.
