Algae Blenny and a Mandarin

[I'mRisenAquaRat]

Anyone know the compatibility of an Algae Blenny and a spotted Mandarin?

Anyone have both in their tanks?

Hi Ray, I have a Lawnmower Blenny and a Mandarin both in my tank and they do just fine together. Both at times will even share the same rock.

Thanks Woody,
I was thinking that they have too similar body shapes and share/compete for the same territory (the bottom, rocks).

Mine may be an exception to the rule, although I seriously doubt it, but at times it has seemed as though the mandarin follows the blenny around while the blenny is eating algae and stirring up a few pods along the way, the mandarin grabs a nice snack without having to hunt for it.

They should be fine, blennies are pretty easy to get along with a few exceptions (cough midas blenny)
