multiple Meiacanthus oualanensis?

[el aguila]

Captive bred Meiacanthus oualanensis or Canary Blenny addition to 190, just hoping for some feedback from people who have kept them. I was told thaqt I could keep 3-5 in a tank my size by the LFS.

My tank is a reef tank with mostly passive fish. Display is a 190 with 400 G in total system. Tank mates starting from largest or most aggressive and going down the line:
Quoyi parrotfish, Sargassum Trigger, 4 Kupang Damsels, Marine Betta, 5 Carberryi Anthias, Sunburst anthias, 2 Mandarins, blue stripe pipefish

Just wondering if I'ld be alright adding 3-4 of the Fang Blennys?

Anyone?

I won't be much help, but I think the reason you are not getting any replies is because not very many people have ever kept groups of any type of blennies. I asked this question about midas blennies and did not get much of a response either. So I say go for it and be the first on the block to try this. side note be prepared to remove fish that don't play well with others.
Good luck

With what research that I've done, it leads me to believe that it's not a good idea. I was wondering if anyone had any actual experience keeping a small group of the captive breds. Sometimes actual experience is different than what the book says.

At this point I'm going to pass on adding them.

I agree with you, but I also agree that what you sometime read is not how it may go in our tanks. I think any fish pairing or grouping is always a challenge.

Just to follow up, I did try a group of twelve. After about 6-8 months I was done to 2 which have been in my tank now for a couple of years.
