Red Scooter Blenny

Would it be a problem to add a Red Scooter Blenny to a 55 gal tank that has a Lawnmower Blenny & Yellow Watchman Goby, and 6 Line Wrasse? And if so, could I fed it frozen foods. Copepods may be scarce due to 6 Line Wrasse.

unfortunatly, scooter blennys main food is pods, so it would not be a good choice. even if he does eat frozen foods there is still a big chance he will starve without enough pods.

Yes, I agree. They are grazers and eat constantly so frozen food may be a nice supplement but with insufficient pods, he will not make it.

+1 ^^^ lotsa pods - it may eventually accept prepared foods, but plan on it taking quite awhile (if ever) for that to happen

They're also a dragonet, just like a mandarin: they're not a blenny at all. Somebody did some math and figured they eat about 10,000 pods a day.

Thanks for info! I will hold off then on getting one.
