Diamond Goby by DancesWithSquirrels Experience Level: Intermediate Posted on 3/15/2008 from HIGH POINT, NC UNITED STATES Comments: Excellent fish for cleaning up substrate. It turns over the substrate in my 75 at least once a day. Any algea and cyanobactria that may show up, the Goby cleans it right up. 1 word of caution though. This fish loves to burrow and can create large burrows underneath LR. If your LR is not properly placed and seated, it may topple over potentially breaking your tank. So take great care in your aquascaping. It's a peaceful fish that pretty much stays to itself. Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

Excellent by GERARDO QUEZADA Experience Level: Intermediate Posted on 7/8/2008 from INGLEWOOD, CA UNITED STATES Comments: Very interesting fish fun to watch. I got my 76 year old grandma visiting my home and really loves watching this fish. It's one of her favorite ones. This fish likes digging holes and cleaning sand. I got a 110 gallon tank and it does well. WARNING!!!!!! cover your tank up from the top... Mine got smart and jump out of the tank during the night. At the morning found it on my tile floor dried up.. Really nice fish I do recomend it. Likes to make holes and also likes to play with sand. Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.
