I was looking to get a goby but not sure what kind. I have a dogface puffer and a blue throat trigger. Both have been doing we'll with my small domino damsel so I'm looking for a goby to get. Preferably one that can get pretty big. Any suggestions?

How big is the tank? Those are some pretty strong fish you have, a large Engineer would hold it's own, they are not true Gobies but act like one.

It's a 70 gal. What about any large Blennys?

I am not that familiar with the Blennys. You're going to need something to stand up to the Domino Damsel because once it matures it's going to rule that tank, I am not going to mention the Trigger.
A Lemonpeel Angel might be up to the task.

Depending on the size of the dogface puffer, a goby may be difficult to add. Dogface puffers have powerful jaws, sharp beaklike teeth, are curious and aggressive. Gobies are peaceful and usually much smaller.

The puffer is still young but i was looking at like a goby/Blennys that was bigger than him
