Lawnmower Blennies

Is it possible to keep 2 lawnmower blennies in a single 75gal tank? I don't think it is, but just wondering!

Do you have enough algae to feed both? I can't get mine to eat frozen or Nori and I'd to cut down on the light due to the heat wave.

you might, but i really doubt it. they'd probably kill each other in a 75.

I do have plenty of algae. would they have to have been simutaneously introduced? As I already have on in there and he has his hole marked out...

I don't want to do this if it's going to kill my current LMB

i wouldn't do it. i don't think a 75 would give them their own space.

if you're looking to clear the algae, amp up your clean-up crew.

i love my lawnmower - he sits in my hand and nibbles on my fingers when i'm doing maintenance.

save the coolest fish - don't introduce another - let someone else have him.

According to liveaquaria.com that may not be a good idea to have 2 in the tank.

That settles that, I didn't think it was a good idea, but didn't know if that was the websites covering their behinds, and if it could actually be done. Oh well, Will be getting more crabs and snails I guess!

Thanks all!

I wouldn't try it. I had a Black Blenny and a Lawnmower in my 75 and I had to take the Lawnmower out because they were always fighting
