sand cleaner?

[jesse alcaraz]

Hey guys what are your opinions for a sand cleaning fish. I want may sand to be kept clean and was wondering if there is anything out there that can clean up my sand well.
Ive seen those diamond gobys do stuff with the sand but does that work?

nanarisis snails sorry for spelling

 

[jesse alcaraz]

I got those but i mean the top of the sandbed. They like to dig down so i knowvthey are working good under the surface.

how big your tank? fighting conch? diamond goby will work but they dig and spit sand sand all over may cause rock slide.

Every week I buy a dozen of those gobies for my store and run out because they FREAKING work!! They're in all my display tanks with sand and algae will NEVER grow on the sand as long as those guys are alive in there.

.. speaking of which, I sold the last one yesterday.. replenish 'em on monday..

Not too sure. I bought a pack a while back with a bunh of different types of snails and hermits, im sure i need to get a few more to replace the few that gone missing over time.
The fighting conch looks nice , im reading up o it right now im interested in it .

What would u recommend then? I know there are a few that do that just dont remember the names.

Conch snail is going to be your best bet.

more snail and a conch trust me. alot of people dont have enough clean up crew. im sure wally at reefer lounge can help you with a package deal.

The fighting conch will get the job done.

i have a fighting conch, nassys, and a sand sifting starfish. My sand bed stays pretty clean, i would never do a diamond goby they like to bury stuff

 

[standaman4]

Snails work best. My sandbed is never dirty and all I have are some nassarius and a conch.

The goby will work too, but they spit sand all over the place =P
