OK..these two are quite the busybodies...Anyone who is tuning into the webcam is getting a good show of how busy these two are. Compare these pictures, and look at what they have accomplished in only 2 days!

The tank is often milky as they are disturbing a lot of really fine sediment. There is so much water movement that this sediment doesn't seem to be settling on anything yet. It may lead me to run mechanical filtration of some kind. Or, it might just clean itself out as they keep at it. Regardless, these guys are doing a marvellous job of cleaning my sand (and stacking it!)

After Gobies: (check out the sand pile around the rock in the middle)

Hi Brad

You are pretty lucky.

In my tank those two gobies would have made their little home somewhere down the back of the tank, never to be seen again.

Your tank just keeps getting better with age!

I love those diamond gobys, I had one in an old tank then one day he never came out of his home. Mine used cover his hole every night then dig himself back out the next day. Do yours do that?

Yes, every night they close up the entrance to their burrow. I'm watching them very closely to ensure they are eating something. Right now, I'm injecting mysis into the sand so they can "find" them in their regular chomping. I hope I don't need to that for very long. Typical of most new fish, they are a bit thin when you get them.

Congrats on over 90,000 views.

I'm glad that I tuned in many months ago, so that I didn't have to read it all over again. I must say there were many idea's that came from your system that I incorporated in mine!
Thank you!

Cheers!
Geoff
