Blenny with goby

[harofam]

I have two watch man gobies I want to get a scooter blenny and lawn mower blenny I have a 30 gallon tank also have two chromis will the lawn mower blenny pick on the gobies or will the gobies pick on the scooter blenny

I would advise against a Lawnmower Blenny in a 30. They get large, mean with age, and often starve in smaller or newer tanks. I had one starve in a 55 gallon. For a different Blenny, look into smaller members of the Ecsenius genus (i.e. Tailspot).

The tank is a little on the small side for a Dragonet, though if your tank is well established with plenty of live rock and a refugium, it can work. As far as your Gobies, I imagine if it were to get close to their burrow(s), they will chase it away.

Be VERY careful with a scooter blenny. THat's actually a scooter dragonet. You'll need a very well established tank with a LOT of live rock and a large refugium or the scooter will starve.
Try a barnacle blenny instead of a lawnmower.
Also, your two chromis will turn into one. I suggest you remove one.

I'm impatient I went and bought the lmb before any one could post the fish store sold me some algae wafers with it and told me I could feed it that if it seems to be not enough algae for it to eat, and I thought chromis were better in groups than by themselves

No, the chromis thing is a myth. Babies school, but the adults eventually kill each other. Plus, two is not a group.
Lawn mower blennies are SOMETIMES okay being fed algae wafers. However, do remember that your fish store is doing its best to sell you things. Ask here instead of asking the store... Sometimes pet store employees either lie or don't know what they're doing.
