does anyone know of a freshwater goby specie that sifts sand? I would love one for my breeder tank, to help with the maintenance. And i love watching them haha.
This will be living with Mollys and a smaller Ctenopoma, if anyone knows of larger specie that could hold its own in a tank with a red wolf fish (erythnius) ornate bichir and peacock bass.
 
Only fish I can think of that will do this in fw are some geos. Not sure of any fw gobies that will do this.

I'd go with geos. They get very beautiful with streamers and vibrant colors at larger sizes & can hold their own.
