goby and blennie suggestion for 40 breeder

[Reef.Blue]

Hey guys! I was wanting to get a blennie for my tank but was not sure which one. Many people suggested a midas blennie for my tank, but I was wanting to hear your opinions. Also, what would be a good fish to eat leftover food at the bottom? I head maybe a goby would be good for that. Thanks!

I like my tailspot blenny. Quite a lot of character and eats some algae too.

Thanks! I was also looking into those, but it didn't seem like it had much color to it. Will they eat left over food?

They have 2 color versions. One has orange and blue colors. Mine eats everything and nibbles all day on algae.

They are hardy fish correct?

orange tailspots are the colorful ones, so make sure you get those if your looking for those orange and blue colors

yes, Tailspots are pretty hardy, they also can play dead when stressed, so do not be super worried if your blenny acts weird after you pick it up with your net.

Seems to be he was tiny when I added him to the tank and he didn't get pushed around at all. Likes to perch on rocks.

i really enjoyed my Starry Blenny. As most blennies, has tons of personality. He perched on rocks and hung upside down. quite comical

Thanks! I have been looking at a Midas blenny. Would that be good for me?

I'd say the orange tailspots are better for a goby and blenny heavy tank
