Blennies and gobies

Mtb_reefer · Apr 9, 2019

Hey everyone, mtbreefer here looking for your opinions! So here’s a short rundown of the tank.
IM lagoon 25 just cycled and currently housing 28 lbs rock 20 lbs Bahamas oolite 1 black ice snowflake and 16 small frags running the IM skimmer and the BRS dual reactor with HC GFO and Rox 0.8 carbon.

LiveAquaria has an orange spot blenny and a bonded pair of orange stripe prawn gobbies with a red pistol. I’ve kept a single blenny and a single goby in a bio cube 29 with out problems, but I’m asking for you guys’ opinions on keeping 2 gobies with a blenny. I’m hesitant because all 3 are bottom/rock dwellers.

!!! Welcome to R2R @Mtb_reefer !!! Don't know if a third goby will create territorial problems.

My Tailspot Blenny stays up on the rocks and never goes near the sand.

Thanks for the warm welcome. Between paintball and mountain biking I’ve used a few forum sites in the past, but I’ve got to say this place has been the friendliest!

That’s good to hear. This tank has a pretty decent foot print, so it’s allowed me to create a nice scape and use PLENTY of rock. In the past I had a segmented sailfin blenny and he too stuck mostly to the rock. I think I’m going to jump on the opportunity to get these fish and hope for a similar result. If all else fails I have three 10G QT’s I can house the fish in until any possible problems resolve.
