Keep losing blennies Help

[Mark 75g]

I have a 14g bio cube set up in my sons room. It has a pair of clown fish and a gobie. Everytime a put a new blenny in they die. I just put one in yesterday and I found him barely hanging on today. I took him out and see no marks or anything on his body.

Could the clowns be harrassing them to the point they are killing them?

Blennies are *really* picky about water quality.. What's yours like? How long has your tank been set up? How much live rock? What kind of blenny?

starry blenny. Tank has been running for a year. Water quality is spot on. Clowns are doing well and so is the gobie and the cleaner shrimp

Do you supplement with algae? They eat a lot of it. Could be that he's getting picked on, and stressed because he has nowhere to go.. They should be in at least a 30 gallon tank... IMO, you have too many fish for the size of your tank..

I didnt think clowns would pick on him. They die within a day or two. It just 2 clowns and a goby.
