Gobies for 40 gallon

Can anyone tell me the experiences they have had with gobies in this type of aquarium, or near size. Any variety, but what are suggestions about which ones to get, also what are lifespans?

I had a two spotted goby loved the look and behavior of the fish but after a week i found him in the corner a little chewed up and dead. Had been sifting the sand so i thought he was eating so just make sure there isnt much competition as far as food supply and demand goes. They are awesome fish though. You should be fine with jut about any type of goby in a 40 gallon they all stay relatively very small.

some of the goby's are very shy and don't feed well. they also don't like high flow. get one of the gobies that pair with the pistol shrimps. they're pretty kewl.

I had a diamond goby. Great for sandbed cleaning. Unfortunately he had a meeting with my floor.
