Who Gives A Fish Forums

to all you new guys, gotta say, i recently picked up a chalk sand shifting goby and it's been a total game changer. super peaceful, and it's hilarious watchin him pick up and move crabs and rocks around. he's done wonders for my tank, and my coflake sand has never looked cleaner.

how big's your tank and what's the sand bed depth like?

from my limited knowledge, i've heard these gobies can be a bit tricky to keep in an aquarium, with a pretty low survival rate.

my tank's 240l, sand's about 1-2 inches deep. gotta say, i'm not seeing any issues with survivability - mine's doubled in size, getting a bit chubby even, great little fish

, i'm tellin ya, get yerself a chalk sand shifting goby, i got one six months ago and it's been a revelation, peaceful, entertaining, and keeps me coflake sand spick and span, transformed me tank, mate, and the little fella's doin great, not just survivin, thrivin, doubled in size, gettin podgy, so don't be put off by the whole survival rate thing, this little bloke's a gem

aye fluxx, should u really be buyin a live fish to feed to yer tank preds, or is it just a fancy way of sayin 'hey, i've got spare cash'? why not just stick yer fingers in for them to chew on, who knows, it might even help u learn to spell 'prawns' proper.

Rich, getting grief from someone who can't spell 'you' and 'your' properly. In the future, best avoid using this key again. I'd love to engage in a battle of wits, but it's clear you're not packing any ammo.

Rich coming from you, giving me grief over a typo when you can't even spell "you" and "your" right. In future, try avoid using that key again.

As for a battle of wits, I think it's clear you're not exactly packing heat. I can take you down faster than a relegation battle, mate.

Lay off lads, no need for all this aggro, just keep the discussion civil.
