So im in yet another dilemma. Should I get a fighting conch or a watchman goby. I want something that can clean the sandbed by eating detritus and algae. Im leaning more torwards fighting conch but I want the one that does the job better

Ok thanks. Gives me one more option to get another fish too that’s another benefitConch
Many bottom dwelling gobied are territorial so once they establish their turf they will not move around much.
Conch will roam all over the sandbed
I have a Biocube 32 and it has a little more than 1 1/2 sq ft of 1 inch thick sandbed. Also plan to get one more coral for the sandbed, but I use it quite a lot for coralsIMO depends on how much you plan to use your sandbed. Goby is guaranteed to bury almost everything you place on the sand. It will also pile most of your sand up in mountains around the base of rocks. But one mature Watchman Goby can do a heck of a job cleaning all of a shallow sand bed in a 6' tank.
IMO there's not going to be enough sand surface in that tank to support an adult Watchman Goby.I have a Biocube 32 and it has a little more than 1 1/2 sq ft of 1 inch thick sandbed. Also plan to get one more coral for the sandbed, but I use it quite a lot for corals
