Thinkin' About Some Substrate Dwelling Fish

[RIP Sebastian]

Hey everyone,

 

My home is getting new carpet pretty soon, so I'll have to move my tank. I'm going to use that oppurtunity to re-do some aspects of my tank (scape, livestock, etc). I've always loved to watch sand dwellers. I figure that I'll add some crushed coral and extra sand to my existing sandbed during this time. I figure I'll ditch my two cardinals (never really liked them) and add something new. I was thinking either of buying a pair of captive-bred yasha gobies with a pistol shrimp from Diver's Den or purchasing a pair of pearly jawfish from KP Aquatics. How deep should the sand bed be for these guys? 2-3 inches? Thoughts?

 

Thanks,

 

Nick

I had a jawfish in my old 55g. I had crushed coral about 2 inches. The jawfish made home within the rockwork. It was a pretty neat fish.

Depending on how big your tank is, a sleeper goby could be a good option.
