Does it exist

Criteria

Sand digging
very peacful
slowish
small sub 3"

For a nice 6gallon tank to keep the sand looking fresh

corys i would say tho they do prefer groups but i no they would keep the sand clean. (ppl will correct me if i am wrong)

Some flavour of goby or loach would probably tick that box. Google peacock goby and see what comes up.

 

[Jazzzz]

any other ideas

 

[kbekll]

chain loach might be an option

Catfish, gobies, soles, spiny eels, and cichlids are all examples of fish that manipulate the substrate

you have to keep groups of 5 plus and they are very pricy I believe due to there endangered status

i thought it was called a chain loach due to the movement but mean Kuhli Loach

unsure about their endangered status but three of my local's are selling them at £4 a go they have a few of them
