What Blenny can I add 100g?

[CoralNerd]

I'm looking for another blenny or two for my 100g. I have a Kamohara Blenny now so I wasn't sure if I can add another peaceful blenny or not? If yes, which blennies do you recommend?

i have a midas blenny along with 2 kamoharas, added all at the same time to a 100g. neither seems to notice the other

i will say the midas hates fairy wrasses for some reason. he wasn't a problem in my 50g, and still isn't really a problem, but whenever i add a fairy wrasse he's a goon for a bit

Striped blenny.

@mattzang I like Midas blennies and they're rated peaceful but I'm just a little leery of them.

I'm thinking maybe a Harptail Blenny might be a good option hmmmm

there are definitely stories out there about midas being somewhat aggressive

idk how mixing meiacanthus goes. i added 2 of the kamoharas at the same time and they seem to get along fine, but it seems there are few stories of multiples living together for super long. but they might just not live very long either

i'd recommend other ecsenius blennies, but the others are pretty well known for nipping so idk what your tolerance is on that

@mattzang
I actually had 3 Kamohara's and a Blackline Blenny but I sold 2 Kamoharas as there was some aggression. The Blackline died last month poor guy.
A ecsenius blennies would be nice my tanks SPS dominate not sure if that works. I wouldn't mind a algae eater also as I have no tangs.

yeah i'm tangless too, so i've considered the starry blenny as they look cool and eat algae, but they're supposedly fairly mean and will straight up bite other fish. so i've held off on that one. going for a mag foxface shall be my solution

the other blennies are cool, but seems they go after sps more than other corals lol, so yeah gonna avoid that one

@mattzang Two Spot Bimaculatus Blenny (Ecsenius bimaculatus) do you know if this fish nips SPS?

 

[mattzang]

i do not, i've just seen people say the bicolor flametails and tailspot all seem to snack on sps a lot

i'd venture a guess that all of the ecsenius are fairly risky. maybe except the midas. my midas behaves more like a planktivore than a benthic fish. i've never seen that lazy fish eat algae
