    So I have had my Midas Blenny now for around a year now. This is my favorite fish by far, they have best personality. I see the same type of personalities in other blennies and I just can't help but want more! However, I have heard that they aren't so compatible.. Are there any other types that won't fight with my Midas?? Maybe a Lawnmower blenny since they hang around the bottom?

    What are your tank dimensions? Previous live stock? I do like sailfin/algae blennies as well. They hop around on the rock and quite strange looking.

    lawnmowers arent bottom dwellers, they are everywhere dwellers. Ive seen mine go from the sand to the power heads & top rocks & back.

    I don't think you will have too much of a problem as long as the next blenny is compariable in size. My midas blenny was never aggressive.

    How about some barnacle blennys? They are hysterical and you could have a whole barnacle condominium of them.;)
