I've read some off/on about having certain blennies mixed in the same tank is a bad idea, but curious if a lawnmower would be compatible with a tailspot? I've had the tailspot for a while, and have wanted a lawnmower too. Current tank size is 30gallons. If it is simply a space issue, and If that size is an issue what size tank would you suggest before mixing these two.
 
I did this, the lawnmower beat on the tailspot pretty bad. I have seen people that have multiple of the same blenny in the same tank but I have no experience there.

I'm blenny obsessed, so I totally get wanting both! I don't have much experience with Lawnmower Blennies specifically, but I am obsessed with a similar blenny, the Starry Blenny. I have a Starry in with a pair of Tailspots and they get along just fine. I had the Tailspots first. Once I added the Starry he would get head bumped for getting too close to the Tailspots' hideaway, but that's it. All three are now full grown and have been together for almost 3 years.
