Randall's Goby and Bicolor Blenny ?

MDeth · 05-21-2007, 04:20 PM

We've decided the false perc is going back to the LFS. Now this leaves us with a Randall's goby, fire shrimp and cleaner shrimp.

Will a bicolor blenny generally get along with small bottom dwelling gobies in a 27.7gallon?

And, this should be under inverts, but has anybody housed a candy pistol with cleaner shrimp or fire shrimp?

Anybody have any suggestions for fish other than these two? This is the 20x20x16 tank.

My experience is that a bicolor will get along with anything. (with exception of another blenny) --- they wind up squabbling for the same holes to sit and peek out of.

Is a wonderful fish. Has much character and is just fun to watch...

Get one.

I have had no issues with the pistol shrimp and the other shrimp however in such a small space i'm not sure how it will work out. As far as the goby I see no issues at all. I have not seen a bicolor blenny share the same burro as a pistol shrimp as in my experience they like to live in the rock about mid depth. I think it would be a good addition.

I just added a blenny last week. fun to watch!
what are people feeding their blenny? just trying to get a feel for a possible mixed diet

Mine eat everything. Brine shrimp. Mysis shrimp. Blended algae sheets. If you put a drop of garlic extract most can't resist :-)

yeah, they dont seem to picky.. mine has been eating mysis pretty well, I put a couple of small pieces of seaweed, but it usually floats away and he doesnt get any.
