I know it seems strange to yellow watchmen goby but ima see if I can mate them (yes ima set up another tank for the larva)
 
The thing with AI is you have to give it enough information in your question to give you a good response. I'm sure you mentioned the size of your aquarium. Did you mention filtration and Lighting?
 
Ik I got 80 pounds of live sand which the ai know and 90 pounds of dry rock with the ai knows
 
Bumblebee Snails (to total 10)
More Nassarius Snails (total 9)
This seems like an over amount of carnivorous snails, what size tank?
