midas blenny

[coralreefer]

would a midas blenny be compatible with a lawnmower blenny?

 

[gc1962]

I would say so, I have a midas blenny along with a black sailfin blenny and they have no problems getting along.

I would be afraid to do it as I was when I thought about doing this. I have a 75 too and already have the midas blenny. You would think they would not fight due to their different body shapes but I myself wouldn't try it. Let me know how it goes if you do it.
(Although I don't really want the lawnmower) Hope it works out for you if you do try it.

i have a both in my 125g and they get along fine. when they run in to each other the chase but that not much at all... both are good fish..

I have both in a 75. They have never even chased one another and I've had them together for 6 months.

but i already have an LMB. and i am planning to add a midas. the only thing im worried about is that they will have territorial issues because of the times they were added. but from what ive gathered, a midas is more of a swimming fish than an LMB.

I got the LMB in January and added the midas in late feb. No issues. They're both pretty peaceful.

just depends on the fish (fishes) as individuals, I put a lawnmower into my 240 reef and the Midas shredded it to pieces (nice snack for my clean up crew). It's 50 50

I had a Starry Blenny (cousin of Lawnmower) in a 75g tank and added a Midas Blenny there last year. Huge mistake! My mellow Starry started attacking the new Midas like there was no tomorrow. I finally caught the Midas and moved it to another tank.
If you have a tank larger than 75 or 95 tank, then you may get lucky. I would not recommend it.

I have a Horseface (Redlip) Blenny and a Midas in a 75. The Midas was added after the Horseface. No issues at all. The Redlip attacks every other new fish, but didnt even seem to notice the Midas. Midas are fantastic fish. It may be worth a try.
Here is our Midas - my wife named her Daisy:

I had a midas and added a LMB...No issues. I have a 4ft 120

I have a bi-color blenny with my lawnmower.. Both appears to be at peace, however at time the bi-color will chase the lawnmower to show him who is boss.
