Algae Blenny & Hectors Goby

[pweissma]

I have a very well established and active 3.5" algae blenny in a 34g solana. In another tank I have a small hectors goby. I would like to move the hectors goby into the solana and I'm wondering if it's likely to get harassed by the algae blenny. Other fish in the solana or a pair of occelaris and a blue assessor. Thanks

Of course there's no guarantee but my hector's goby got along great with everyone including a yellowtail blue damsel and a diamond watchmen. I don't think my blenny ever even looked at him. You should be fine.

My lawnmower blenny doesn't bother my dragonets at all. He frequently actually coasts over to them and sits with them about 2 inches away in a very non-imposing way. I think he enjoys their company. I had a Diamond Goby who he did the same thing with. Now when he sees his shadow or reflection in the glass he goes crazy trying to attack it. I think that blenny's are only territorial with other blenny's. Must be a grumpy and grumpier old men type of thing.

Gracious thanks

Lawnmower, yes. Jester, no. My Jester and Hector didn't get along at all!
