Will these fish work?

[brokendeck]

I currently have a longnose hawk and yellow watchmen goby. Could I add a lawnmower blenny to the tank? Im not sure if the goby and blenny will fight or be fine together. Please let me know if anyone has this combo of fish in a 29 gallon or smaller tank. Thanks

Nope they'll eat each other for brekfast. Ha just kidding, they'll be fine.

 

[brokendeck]

nice. anyone else have a reply to this question? just wanna make sure a couple people have had success with this before i place a order.

I'm concerned about the Lawnmower getting enough to eat in that sized tank.

 

[brokendeck]

its got alot of hair algae in there? also i couldnt feed it algae sheets?

make sure it is eating before u buy it.

 

[bang guy]

Mine only ate Diatoms. Maybe someone else can chime in here with successfully feeding a Lawnmower in a small tank long term.

How about a starry blenny? My lawnmower blenny did not survive too long in my tank.

Actually I also have petland which isn't bad but they're selection isn't as good as Elmer's the one 40 mins away.

OOh are you up in PA? Elmers..hhrrmm i think Anthony Calfo works there every now and then
personally id drive up there vs ordering online...i like SWF but a fish like that in your size tank already has a lower probability of surviving...so id personally prefer to see it, see if it takes prepared food before i would buy...
