Midas Blenny and Clownfish compatibility

[Tiffany29]

I have a 29g fish only with 10 lbs of live rock tank. My tank is about 11 months old. I currently have 1 fire shrimp, 1 chromis, 2 ocellaris clownfish, 1 green clown goby, and 1 firefish. I would really love to add one more fish and fell in love with the Midas Blenny. However, I read online that the Midas Blenny might be aggressive. Do you think I can add the Midas Blenny without having any issues?

honestly i think your at your limit on fish in a 29, 5 fish for a 29 is alot. plus those clowns as they mature might take over your tank

+1 you will definitely be pushing it. Stay on top of maintenance if you try it. I would be more worried about the clowns picking on the Midas. I have a 55gal and my clowns pretty much control 1/2 the tank. And I only have 2 other fish

I would actually add a couple more shrimp if your just looking to add things. Always thought urchins were cool too but the do pick up frags and such

Thanks for the advice! Yeah, I do see that the clowns are very territorial. Today they were both chasing my firefish around. Do you think my firefish will be ok?

I forgot to mention that I have a sand sifting starfish. If I add an urchin, will that be too much for my tank? I would hate for it to die. A couple of months ago, I had a big turbo snail in there and when it died it killed almost everything in my tank

Those sand sifting starfish are really for bigger tanks. It will probably die. I wouldn't get an urchin in such a small tank. Do you have any nassarius snails. Get like 4 or 5. They are great fir the sand
