2 sand sifting gobies in 75 gal?

[CindyKz]

I have a diamond goby in my 75 gal mixed reef. He sticks to one side of the tank. I'd like to add another sand sifting goby. Possible?

TIA

It is possible if you have a lot of rock and places for them to call home. The same species tend to fight unless they are a mated pair. The smaller species would be a good choice. Sometimes a battle can break out if they both decide that one part of the tank is where they both want to live. Every fish is different in personality so be ready in case you have to trade one back into the LFS.

Thinking about a tiger goby.

Sand sifters pr readily. If you get a small specimen the 2 will likely form a pr.
