Goby Blenny Compatability

[Nick James]

I think I know the answer already but I want to run it by more experienced fish keepers.

I have a male and female brachiosaurus blenny in my biocube and they have been together for over a year. They quarrel a bit at feeding time but otherwise ignore each other. I am close to getting my 220g Dt up and running. As first fish I would like to get a starry blenny, some sort of shrimp goby, a sand sifting goby and a hectors or rainford goby.

Does anyone see a compatibility issue with this group so far in this large of a tank?

I would think that the size of your tank would be ok but I would prefer the help of someone more experienced. @eatbreakfast. Got some good advice on my gobies a while back. We have 2 diamond sand sifting gobies and 2 tailspot blennies in our 125g.

With enough space you may be fine. Nothing is guaranteed though, you'll need a plan B perhaps.

They will all be compatible, but I would add the starry after any other blennies, he will ignore the gobies.

No experience here but from most stories Ive read, starry blenny arent very tolerant of other algae eating blennies (intended to have one but after much research, scrapped the idea since had a tailspot at that time), but mine is 75g

In a 220g, if the other blennies are in there first, a starry will tolerate them.

Thanks for the information. I would have done it backwards!
