Hey mr cichlid there are a few sandsifters out there but you will have a hard time finding them you may have to order some. You can achieve the same thing when you do water changes and stir the sand with the tube..

what kind??? cud u pls give me some details??? as u know i am trying to find a solution for my 125g cichlid tank that has deep sand bed too. thanks in advance.
Judging by your stock lists, these cichlids are not the answer. Males need a good amount of room on the bottom for a territory and will not fare well with the fish you keep. Not to mention the amount of sand sifting they do just scratches the surface.
