Blenny / Goby

[angiegreenwell]

What is the general thought of keeping Blennies and Gobies together? I was thinking about putting a Molly Miller Blenny (AKA the Combtooth blenny) and a Pinkbar Goby (AKA Aurora goby) plus pistol shrimp together?

Thanks

I have a yellow watchman, pistol shrimp, bi-color blenny, bar goby, and fire fish. No issues.

Shouldn't be any issues unless you don't have enough room for any of your fish to establish their own territory. But then you'd have an issue no matter what type of fish you put in there.

Good to hear. The tank is 75 gallons so size shouldn't be an issue. I was more curious due to live aquaria's statement: "It is not usually aggressive unless the tank mates appear to have a similar shape as it does." Hard to tell if either fish thinks the other is a similar shape as itself. :wiggle:

I've mixed both with no troubles, with the exception of a yellow watchman goby (large female) that harassed a flametail (bicolor) blenny a little... but the YWG is a big old grouch and doesn't like any of her roommates.
