Adding tailspot blenny

[picklerick47]

Hello everyone. I currently have a water box 15 peninsula with a pair of clowns, purple firefish and a cleaner shrimp in the tank. I’ve been wondering if I can add a tailspot blenny to the tank aswell? If so, would the firefish and blenny have any issues? Sorry kinda new to saltwater tanks.

Hi, welcome to Reef2Reef!

Fish compatibility is always a guess - people have opinions, but then, so do the fish (grin).

I would say if there are issues, it will come from the pair of clownfish (depending on how closely they are bonded, and that can change over time).

Another factor is how much open water does your tank have? 15 gallons is pretty small for four fish, and if there is a lot of rock in it, the swimming space would be even less.
