Hi All,
Do you need to quarantine a diamond sifter goby or can they go straight into the DT? I'm sure the answer is yes, they need to be quarantined but I want to make sure. I recall reading somewhere that diamond sifters are not susceptible to ich and because of that don't need to be quarantined.
I have a diamond sifter goby and he has been in my 29 g qt for the past 2 weeks but he doesn't move around much and I haven't seen him eat either. I do have a plastic bowl with sand in there for him but I've only seen him in it twice (he wasn't sifting). When he was in the lfs, he was in a tank with sand and he was sifting through it like crazy.
Any advice or information would greatly be appreciated. Thanks.
Chris
