Can you have a bicolor blenny and a lawnmower blenny together in a 55? (There's lots of live rock and no gobies or fish of similar shape.)
Hi,
They will fight, so no. How can you say no fish of similar shape...both the lawnmower and bicolor Blenny have a similar body shape, and a 55g is really small for a SW tank.

Correction ^
Thanks for the feedback!
LOL...I take things so literal, I've been in hot water a few times over that. Every reef I ever set up had a lawnmower blenny, they are all personality...my grandkids always called them zippy fish, I thought it was because they were fast, but they told me it was the way their fins go all the way around.

Is alage all the lawn mower eats?
Yes, but not like the tangs, they have a bristle mouth and clean even the algae from off the glass...LOL....you will see little kiss marks on the glass. They also clear the rock the same way, which is why they are called bejeweled rock skippers. They will not eat hair algae, nor the Nori sheets ( at least mine wouldn't), they seem to just like the film algae.
