just a question for down the road. can a LMB and Mandarian get along in a 55. I understand blenny's fight with conspecfics, and mandarians are in the same family if i'm not mistaken.
before the comments start: i am aware of the dietary needs of mandarians and will be setting up a fuge before hand as well as seeding my tank with pods.

I have had both in my 72 for 7 months. Make sure you have an established pod population for the manderin or it will starve. The LMB eats algae and never has bothered the manderin. They both act as if they have differant agendas. Good luck.
