Can an IM Nuvo 8 sustain a diamond goby?

Hi all,

 

I've been reading that 'sand sifters' are a no go for nanos, but I thought my tank might be an exception for the following reasons:

 

- I have a 3" deep bed of live sand

- my focus on biological (and not media basket) filtration has left me with an abundance of of sediment/silt

- my LFS guy said it would be good (I know, I know, but he's a good LFS guy)

It gets WAY too large for a 8g (like not even close to being able to fit in a 8g). You can slap your LFS guy now.

 

A sand sifter may also have a negative impact on the live sand bed you're trying to create for nitrate control.

My diamond watchman Goby grew to the size of a cucumber. Unfortunately this type of fish will not work as others have mentioned.

Will double check with LFS, fault is most likely with me :S

He pointed it out, said it was a goby and I assumed it was a diamond from the look of it.
