Lawnmower vs. shrimp goby

[jammerz]

will this guy fight with my lawnmower blenny? I have one now in a smaller tank and kinda wantto put him i nthe big tank, he will approach and kind a peck others when hes getting fed, does he have teeth? he doesn't ever bite just approaches but the book says he'll fight with similiar fish is a lawnmower blenny similiar?

I dont think it should be much of a problem.

sometimes larger gobies get territorial, mine has serious issues with my mandarin but leaves everyone else, including the blenny alone

 

[jammerz]

yeah he seems maybe more territorial than aggressive. He'll poke out his little hole just to taunt others he looks like a grumpy old fish....but really pretty!!

depends on the "big tank" size too...they both need to be able to have their own territory more than anything else

I would be more concerned with aggression from the lawnmower

 

[jammerz]

the lawnmower is really small though bout half the size of the goby right now....

 

[1979camaro]

eventually though...

the current size of the fish is not what must be conisdered in terms of stocking and compatability

i've heard of lawnmower blennies eating this and that in a reef tank

lawnmowers grow to about 4-5" if i am correct

 

[aresgod]

yea mine is about 5"

 

[1979camaro]

really? only 5"? mine is at least 8

errr

 

[aresgod]

haha very funny, so now you get detention for regressing to 5th grade humor
