Bicolor vs Midas blenny

[DerekT5]

Hi all I am thinking of getting some blenny for my tank. Will a bicolor and a Midas blenny fight? Thanks!

They may fight a little but I don't believe it would be a constant aggression issue as long as its a big tank for the two of them and they have plenty of space to spread out.

depends on how many holes you have for them. My midas is a jerk too

How big is the tank? How long has it been running? What fish do you currently have in the tank?

Tank size matters. If it's bigger than 4' it can work if they can be added simultaneously.

It is a 40 gallon

It is a 40 gallon

Personally I would not add both and do one or the other.

I once had a midas + black sailfin + small bicolor in one tank for a short period of time. My tank was 4' x24" x22". One day morning small bicolor was teared to shred and both black sail and midas were laying on the sand bed breathing heavily with bite mark on side. Later the day they both passed away. They do fight and can be aggressive...

Above happened two years ago. Now I only have 1 midas. This will be my only blenny.

Thanks for all the info I think now I will just stick to the Midas. Thanks

Which one is a better algae eater, Midas or Bicolor?
Bicolor is more pacific, right?
