I read on Drs. Foster and Smith that Bicolor blennies tend to bother dartfish and gobies. Has anyone kept these 2 species together and if so, did you have any issues with them? Thanks.
 
I have a bicolor blenny and a high fin red banded goby in a 20 gallon. For awhile the goby and shrimp had moved their burrow to a side location on the tank (not a big deal because they change their dwelling often) but they seemed to stay in this one place for a lot longer than usual. I finally figured out that they had both learned that that's where the food flowed too initially when I fed. The goby/shrimp have recently moved back to their normal hangout in a front location of the tank and they seem to be fine together(goby/blenny). Been in there together for about 2 months.
