Fish compatibility: pictus and bicolor

[Mschmidt]

Sorry, I couldn't think of a witty title other than "fight club?"

I may have a pictus blenny and a bicolor blenny coming my way. Am I likely to have compatibility issues with the two?

Tank's a 29 gallon.

It think they might be fine. Both are generally super peaceful, but both are from the same genus and its a pretty small tank, so i can’t be certain. I would just be ready to remove one in case they dont get along.

That was kinda my thought. I have a 10-gallon tied into it, which can be a short-term solution to problems. I'd hate to keep it there too long and bring the blenny police down on me.

I’m being a bit risky with mine too.. got the two pictus coming and already have a tailspot.

But my last one being best buds with a sailfin gives me hope.

10g is a big enough space for a pictus imo. They stay smaller than a tail spot.

Nice! That is a cool picture of your pictus and sailfin.

29 gallons just doesn't feel like a lot of space. But I'm happy to be wrong though.

It'd probably be the bicolor that moves if there are issues though. (Really the first one I can catch)

Always nice to see agreement:)
