Goby and Blenny comaptibility

[Sully6768]

So, I'm about 3 weeks into my upgrade build from a 20 gallon high to a 54 gallon corner. I've had a YW goby, a bi color blenny together in the 20 for about 5 months. I've transferred them over to the 54 corner with no issues. They've both ben model citizens in both the 20 and so far in the 54. Conventional wisdom says these 2 should probably quarrel a bit being almost identical body shapes and their lairs per say are only about 5-6 inches apart.

So, I'd like to add either a black sailfin blenny (juvenile less than 2 inches) and a high fin red banded bogy to pair with one of the two pistol shrimp in the tank. Anyone have thoughts if one or both or neither would be ok? Like I've had my bi color for about 3 years and he's never botherd anything. Oh, and theres also a green banded goby as well as a pair of clowns.

Personally I think you shouldn't add anymore with similar body types and that occupy the same part of the water column. Since you seem to like gobbies and blennies have you taken a look at the Golden Midas Blenny?? Also it makes no difference what the fish's introduction size is but what size they'll become full grown.

I was once thinking of getting a YWG and a pistol shrimp, but decided against it. Those shrimp can become a PITA in many ways. Might be worth your time to do some Googling and see what all you come up with on them. I wanted the relationship of the shrimp/goby but wanted a yellow fish. After my research I decided on the Golden Midas Blenny and I'm glad that I did as he's become my favorite fish. I've had many fish in the past as I have had several tanks and can honestly say this guy is my favorite of all.
