been looking at lawn mower blennies. maybe like to have one?
but i think i have too many fish!
ive got a 29 gal and an 18 gal refug.
small sixline wrasse
small perc
tiny citrin goby (about 1/4 inch)
watchman goby
orange striped goby
small firefish.
is there room for a LMB?
think i may have to take something out, would like to get the gobies out (watchman/orange striped) but cant.
thanks

hmmmmm...i'd be a little careful about putting a LMB in anything smaller than a 55, i've seen them starve to many times in smaller tanks, now if you can get it to take prepared foods you should be fine, its not as hard as training a manderin to eat prepared but it can be a little tricky...and your bioload is getting up there for a 29...but your tank, your choice...

Also, many of them have surprisingly bad attitudes considering their cute faces. I would be wary of them with any gobies, blennies or otherwise similarly shaped fish. But that is me.
Next time you see one, avert your eyes. They're trying to hypnotize you with their gaze.
