"The Bicolor Blenny is also known as the Two-colored Blenny. The Bicolor is so-named because the anterior half is blue to dull brown, and the posterior half is dull orange. Males are generally larger than females and experience a succession of color changes, including blue, when breeding. These Blennies exhibit great personality in the aquarium.
Generally found amid crevices and rocks on the bottom of its environment, the Bicolor Blenny needs a tank of at least 30 gallons with scattered rocks for perching and hiding.
These fishes are normally peaceful tank members, but have been known to pick at other blennies, smaller gobies and dartfish. They normally make a good addition to reef aquariums, but use caution in smaller set ups, or with smaller fleshy corals, as they have been know to pick at the mantles of clams, and at fleshy large polyp stony corals when underfed. In larger reef aquariums they rarely do damage to these corals or clams. "

^^This poster has a bicolor and a lawnmower.
It can be done, it just has to be done cautiously and you need to know upfront that they may fight.
I'm also considering adding a second blenny to my tank, I currently have Black Combtooth and really want a Lawnmower.
You need to keep them well fed and make sure that the new addition is larger than the one already in your tank, this will help lessen aggression issues.
Good luck and if you do decide, let me know how it goes, I'm very up in the air on whether or not I want to add a second one to my tank and would like to know how other peoples experiences with this go.

i've seen many aggressive lawnmowers. mine killed my jawfish and my bicolor blenny. lawnmowers are also hard to keep fed. i've heard of someone keeping a tailspot and a bicolor together. the bicolor is definitely less aggressive than the lawnmower. jawfish are really wimpy. the tailspot is probably similar to the bicolor. i have an eyelash blenny and hes pretty nice. i'm thinking of adding a bicolor. i have more than 1 tank just in case. i love blennies and would have a bunch of them if it were possible. the fish/animals in your tank should be the same size so they don't kill eachother.
