mixing blennys and mandarins

[Roobag]

Could anybody tell me if you can have a tailspot blenny and a green mandarin living peacefully together in the same 120 l tank?
Many thanks for any help in advance.

More than likely they'll be fine, but fish all have their own personalities

Reasons why it'll work
1) Unrelated fishes of different genus and family
2) The fish have different colors and different body types
3) They use different areas of the tank (Mandarin within the rockwork, Blenny on top and around the rockwork)

I agree with Fishfirst.

Thanks Fishfirst thats good to know my tank is breaming with pods and i think it will be ready for a mandarin any time soon.

I actually have these two doing fine in my 55g. I also have a 20g sump to breed pods and what not with. The mandarin has been nice with a full belly and I occasionally add in pods and phyto to keep their population going.

The blenny has his own little areas, none too much down In the rocks where the mandarin goes. He likes to scrape algae off of everything but also nabs some mysis and formula 2 at feeding time.

Hope this helps
