blenny in a 20 gallon?

Thats what I'm asking can I keep any blenny in this tank and any suggestions to which type? I thought since they are very active fish I wouldn't want to depress them with small space for swimming.
 
I haven't got much rock work.

My first tank was a 20 gal FOWLR. We had a bicolor blenny that did great (until we left on a long trip to Okinawa and the sitter nuked the tank). That was the first fish my wife actually liked (she loved it and was upset when it died). Now we have a bicolor and a tailspot in a bigger tank, and I have to say I like the tailspot better. So +1 to the above post(s).
 
The Tailspot goby is a nice choice. After seeing the Orangethroat Pikeblenny it mentions they can be homed in 20g anyone got anymore info these? I like the peaceful eel sorts like my convict blenny but after downgrading I can't seem to keep any eel like fish until I seen this.

Seen this link to.

Would a single specimen be fine in my tank?
 
RE: Orange throat. Maybe. They get to be about 6 inches long. Not sure how aggressive they become.

Tailspots get along with any other peaceful fish with the possible exception of other blennies.
 
Tailspots are great. You will need to put bird netting or some other cover on that tank because they are known to jump.
 
Cheers, I think I might leave out the pike blenny and go with the tailspot instead, but going to see if my supplier can get them in when I decide to go for a change.

Does anyone know of someone who has experience with them fish?
