Midas Blenny w/ Flametail Blenny?

[woody189]

Hi.
I have a 46 gal tank w/ 45 lbs LR.
I recently added a Midas Blenny, and I was wondering if I would be able to add a flametail blenny as well?? The flametaill is about 75% the size of the midas. I'm guessing it's asking for trouble, and the midas will beat the stuff out of the Flametail, but what do you think?
Is it okay to mix these species of Blennies?
BTW, my midas has been in there for a little over a week, and isn't aggressive at all. If anything, he seems passive. I occasionally see my other fish (royal gramma, clown, and even my purple firefish) punk him a little bit.
Thanks

I don't recommend adding another blenny to that tank. You won't believe how quickly a dossile blenny turns into a meanie when you introduce another one, especially in a small tank like 46g is. I tried it in a 75g, had a Starry Blenny there and put in a Midas. Starry tried to kill the Midas.

I have a midas blenny & a bicolor blenny in a 72 gallon. They get along fine.

i think it works when it is large enough a system for them to have their own territory...

I would love to have a flametail, but I guess I shouldn't risk it.
I'm not sure my tank is big enough to comfortably house both of them.
Thanks

I know this is abit off topic, but don't u think blennys r the most awesome fish out there. I love my midas blenny (Goldie) I have countless hours of fun just watching the weird and funny stuff Goldie does in the confinement of her aquarium.

yea, I really do. I've wanted one for months, but I was real picky. i didn't want it too big, and i wanted the bright yellow, not the faded ones.
After about 6 weeks of going to the fish store, they finally got one and it was EXACTLY like I wanted. It was worth the wait, and $50.
I just love the way he moves, just sways back and forth.
