i woulnt recommend keeping them,

like mandarins, they are very picky eaters and can easily starve in smaller tanks due to the fact that it does not produce/provide enough copepods..

Word to that. They are difficuly fish to keep and almost always starve in small tanks because of the lack of pods and stuff.

I have had a scooter blenny in my tank for a while now and he does fine because he eats frozen brine shrimp. If you get one that doesn't eat what you feed and relies only on pods and LR then you might not have success.

 

I guess it's impossible to tell if they will or won't eat your food, but at my LFS they showed me them being fed and eating brine shrimp. You could ask the same.

 

They are great fish with great personality!
