candy hog and midas blenny?

[datsunfiveten]

so i have had a yellow candy hog fish for over a year in a 120 gal tank. today i impulsed bought a Midas blenny. they seem to be fighting over a rock i have with lots of holes in it. i am worried that one might kill he other or will they work this out? i know i should check compatibility but i didnt even think of that one when i was asking the lfs about other fish i had. thanks for input just need to know if i should pull one out or see if they will co exsist

Candy hogs can be mean. I had a yellow and a masudA that would injure fishes eyes.

Thanks for reply. The hog fish has been very friendly to other fish that I have had or added since then. How ever they do look kinda similar and they seem to both want to live in this one rock.

I think midas blennies are spunky enough that they should be OK eventually. Candy hogs can be pretty aggressive though. Oh and make sure the tank is covered well!! Two fish like this fighting can likely end up with one carpet surfing.

Good to know thanks. I currently do not have a cover I will be sure to figure something out today.
