QTing Gobies
Do I need to add sand to my QT tank for a pair of spotted Gobies? Do I just use sand from my DT?

my understanding is you can put a small bowl of sand in just dont put it back in the display afterwards.

I think they'll be okay without sand, but they might be more comfortable with a thin layer. Just devote that sand to QT purposes.
