QT cohabitation

[Schad]

Looking at getting a new orange spotted diamond goby. My last one took a successful jump to the floor. Wondering about getting 2 barnacle blennies as well. I have a 10 and a 20 gallon qt tank that I can set up. Will they be ok together in one qt tank?

Second question. I have looked at recommendations of putting pure silica sand in a bowl for diamond gobym (out of a former tank) in place of silica?

Thanks for your help!

I suggest you make an eggcrate lid to prevent future jumps as gobies are known jumpers. Mine took about 20 minutes but my tank is a bowfront, would be even quicker for a standard tank.
As for your first question I would say yes, especially if they are in the same tank. Just make sure there is a good amount of PVC in there so everybody can hide in case theres some fighting.

I have an egg crate top! Obviously the night I forgot to put it back on....... Won't happen again!
