2 Lawnmowers in 1 tank??

[benihuma]

I was wondering if two lawnmower blennies would be compatible in my 90 gallon tank? The one I have is really cool but he is small and can't really keep up with the algae growth.

I've seen them in a larger tank get along O.K. they had plenty of room. The problem is if they are not the same size the bigger one will most definatly pick on the smaller one. I personally would avoid putting 2 together. If they did start to fight it would be very difficult to get either 1 out of the tank.

I would also assume that they wouldn't get along with a bi-color blenny. I'd love to get one of those for my tank but have the lawnmower in the tank right now

At the LFS store they had put a bicoolor in with a lawnmower, and the lawnmower chased the bicolor all over the place. When I pointed this out to them they seperated them. From what I've found the lawnmowers seem to be very aggressive especially towards their own kind.

Man that sucks! I guess I will be without a bi-color. What about gobies? I was thinking about a watchman also.

A gobie should be O.K. I ordered a watchman from the LFS and will be adding him to my tank with the blenny. Of course he'll probably go into the quarintine 1st for a couple of weeks.
