Gobies

Sorry, I wrote the wrong title. The question is can I keep blennies in a rimless tank?

Get a lid then shure.
I had a goby in my 80 rimless.

I’m afraid it’s gonna jump out

It will without a lid but if you get a lid it won't.

Well any fish can jump out lol. My tanks have no covers, my blennies and gobies have never jumped.

Blennies and gobies can jump out of non rimless tanks too.
Had 2 gobies jump out of my 75 rimmed and my lawnmower jumped out when we were working on the tank.
Saved it though.

They can and will jump. Rimless or not needs a top.

I can’t have a lid because I have hang on tanks

My 75 is a hang-on bow front.
I built a lid out of the little plastic frag rack. I put it on only at nights. One big piece to cover the main bit then smaller pieces for in-between the hang-ons.
