    Sleeper banded bullet does all of the sand sifting in my tank. He also helped get rid of some hair algae.

    My sleeper is awesome =). Don't be discouraged if your tank is cloudy for a few days after you get it. My tank was like that for almost a week before it cleared up.

    Diamond goby!

    Greates personality out of anything in my opinion.
    My favorite fish ever.

    If you get 1 make sure your base rock is all the way down in the sand.
    They're great architects if you get my drift :).
