Will they Rumble? Blenny vs. Mandarin

[farmboy]

I've not read about any problems putting these 2 in a tank together but ours seem to have had "words" when they were first introduced(together-same day).
Anyone have this combo? Any problems?

What type of blenny?

 

[farmboy]

Algae Blenny.
ON SWF they call them "lawn mower" blennys.
I know their diets are completely different so they won't be competing, it just looked kinda wierd to see them "face off".
Maybe just testing the waters? No pun intended. . . .

I don't see you having a long term problem. They should be fine together.

Thanks for the reply!
We also have a couple of oscilaris clowns that seem perfectly indifferent to both of the newcomers.
My wife commented on how graceful the new guys swim compared to the clowns. I had to point out that is kinda why they call them "clown" fish.

I'm glad that they are doing well. I think she will be taking back the graceful comment about the blenny. Once they establish themselves in a territory, they are just as much of a "clown" as a clownfish. My lawn mower is my 210 and with the amount of room he has, he goes nuts. He is always all over the place and popping up in the weirdest of places.

Good luck with your fish!
