I like groups of small fish, I like watching interactions (hopefully not aggressive!) and I am fortunate to have a large system, the main display is 2000ltrs, with a bottom area of 2Square metres and 200Kilo+ of LR. I am researching small fish that I can keep as small groups, when I stumbled on the fang blennies of the genus Meiacanthus. They seem to fit the bill perfectly, small, hardy, colourful, not shy and as a bonus many tank bred.
My questions- I haven't found any references to people keeping them together as groups, I have found suggestions that they form harems, but not that they change sex or have obvious sexual differences, so buying a group would seem to be a gamble. Has anyone had experience of group dynamics- will males fight or are they tolerant. Has anyone kept 3-5 different species together, are they interspecies tolerant.
Any information of this group would be helpful, invert friendly?, tank mates, etc.
