I was wondering if anyone knows if you can keep 2 lawnmower blennys in 1 tank? I have 1 already and I love the way he looks, but I was curious if it is possible to add another. A guy at the LFS said he wasn't sure, and I'd hate to allow one or both to die out of my curiosity.

Yes
You can keep multiple blennies.. but they do need good room.
I have a 50 and kept 2 lawnmowers, a mandarin goby and a watchman. (Keep in mind I didnt have all this at once, I added each over time... thats probably too much to add to a new tank and the bioload might be tilted by adding that many at a time.) But over time I amassed that and they did fine. I still have the mandarin (Yes.. thats right!! I LEARNED how to keep a mandarin alive in a reef without live sand and DAMSELS competing for food!! To those who said I couldnt do it.. BWAAAHAHAHAHAHHAA)
::Sorry.. couldnt resist::::
anyways..
Yes you can.. just make sure they have enough area to do their own things.
