Blenny and Goby Compatibility?


Slayer33

Recommended Posts

So I'm looking to add my final fish to my tank.. right now I have 2 clowns and a Yellow Watchman Goby (who's paired with a tiger pistol shrimp).

 

I am looking to add either a Tail Spot Blenny or a White Lined (Pictus) Blenny. I am leaning towards the White Lined Blenny due to its size, about 1/2 of that of the Tail Spot.

 

From what I can tell as long as the new blenny stays out of the Goby/Pistol shrimps' area then all should be ok right?

Liveaquaria Yellow Watchman Goby...

" It requires a 30 gallon or larger aquarium with plenty of loose coral rubble, ample swimming room, and a sand bottom for burrowing. It rarely becomes aggressive towards other fish, but it is territorial, and will fight with its own kind unless they are a mated pair. It may try to jump out of the aquarium or other small openings, therefore, a tight-fitting lid is required to prevent escape. "

What size is your tank? Tail spots stay under 3" if I'm correct. That pictus must be tiny...  As far as blenny/goby compatibility, I have kept multiple of each in several different tanks with no issues. Blennies and gobies typically occupy a different area of the tank, so usually there isn't an issue. You shouldnt have any issues with your ywg and either of those blennies unless your tank is exceptionally tiny.

I have four lil' sleeper gobies and an orange spot blenny in my 30. I haven't seen any aggression. Maybe that's because the sleeper gobies are so tiny.
