So, I'm about 3 weeks into my upgrade build from a 20 gallon high to a 54 gallon corner. I've had a YW goby, a bi color blenny together in the 20 for about 5 months. I've transferred them over to the 54 corner with no issues. They've both been model citizens in both the 20 and so far in the 54. Conventional wisdom says these 2 should probably quarrel a bit being almost identical body shapes and their lairs are only about 5-6 inches apart.

So, I'd like to add a black sailfin blenny (juvenile less than 2 inches) and a high fin red banded bogy to pair with one of the two pistol shrimp in the tank. Anyone have thoughts if one or both or neither would be ok? My YW goby has shown no interest in pairing with a pistol shrimp. I'm hoping the High finned red banded goby would pair up quick and the YW goby would continue his ownership of the middle of the sand, lol. I've had my bi color for about 3 years and he's never bothered anything. Oh, and theres also a green banded goby as well as a pair of clowns.

The blennies may fight each other. The black sailfin is a bit more aggressive than the bicolor.

The gobies will be fine together.
