Gpby/sand

[Alwmh4]

I plan on keeping a Goby in my newest tank that I am setting up. Im looking at the special grade sand that ranges from 1mm-2mm. Will this larger sand be safe for this fish to sift? I love the look of the fine grain sand but am concerned about too much shifting/blowing as well as trapping detritus.

I would caution against the really fine grain sand because of how easily it blows around. As far as for the goby, I think it would be ok.

I was under impression the special grade sand wasn't fine. Next one bigger is crushed coral on brs.

You are wise to avoid fine grain sand. I switched over to Reeflakes (3.5mm size) and my gobies do fine with that.

I'll look that up. I guess I didn't know what mm qualified as large.
