I would not recommend a sandsifting goby here, but another small goby like the yasha, Randall’s goby would probably be fine as long as there is a secure rock structure to make a cave under and hide from the clownfish and a deep enough sand bed As for the cleaner shrimp, I don’t know how old your tank is but it looks very new and clean, there may not be enough food in the tank for it to scavenge

This is a great app. People are willing to help and are always friendly. Also got 3 nice frags from one of the members who was less than a mile from me.

I’d advise changing scape to give more places for a cleaner to hide. I’d still consider another option as they need more space to scavenge. I’d consider getting a pistol shrimp/goby pair. Had a pair in my first 15 gallon and they were so fun to watch

I agree! They also tend to stick to one small area, so they don’t need a huge tank! The symbolic relationship the two of them have makes it so much fun to see!

Yes! I have this tank with clowns and a watchman goby paired with a pistol shrimp. I’d recommend a pistol shrimp (tiger or candy cane/peppermint) bcuz it will pair with the yellow watchman goby.

Cleaner shrimp can also be pretty large and in a tank that small might be unable to reach everywhere that needs cleaning. Ur tank also looks fairly new, I’m not sure he’d have anything to clean just yet 😊
