Restocking my tank, need some suggestions

[BristleWormHater]

Hum. I will say every single blenny I have had has lived in the barnacles when they discover them. I had a bi color and lawnmower brawl over one cluster (when I had one at each end of a 6 foot tank) and had to remove one! I would just keep an eye on it since they all seem to love barnacles!

Didn't think of that, thats a good point. The barnacle blennies should be going in first so maybe they will claim them first. Maybe adding a second cluster could help. I'll definitely keep this in mind.

If you can sex them, a pair of firefish are so cool to keep! Especially the helfrinchi

How about a Hectors or Rainsford gobie?

Have you started the restock process yet.

No, I need to free up my ten gallon first to use as a qt tank. To do that ive gotta set up this 8 gallon to transfer the stuff to. Im about to go on a little road trip so im gonna wait on that for a bit.

Discordipinna greissingeri

Aka flame goby or flame prawn goby.

I second a rainford or hectors as well.

Ive considered them but I hear they love to hide

Most nano fish I've seen seem to be a bit cryptic (below tailspot blenny sized). I try to get them as small as I can and let them "grow up" in the tank. My pink streaks have become quite bold. Never managed to get a greissinger, though. Might have to try one in the clown prison upgrade if I can find one!

I wonder if adding a Shrimp with them would help? My old YWG was always hiding but my new one with the Pistol is out all the time (until I added the Molly Miller...)

I SHOULD finally be starting on this.
I have freed up my ten gallon and will clean it out this weekend to be used as a quarantine tank, now I just need to find TWO barnacle blennies
A fish store near me had one a month or two ago, I doubt its still there but I will see if I can have them order some in for me.

I don't think I'll get the tail spot blenny due to possible aggression with the barnacle blennies like @littlefoxx mentioned. Considering how hard these will be to get, I don't want to risk anything. I think I'll get a second springeri damsel instead.
Also, I think I'll sub out the trimma gobies with a pair of rusty gobies (Priolepis hipoliti) from kp aquatics.
