Tailspot Blenny and Hector's Goby in Evo 13.5

Paul24 · Dec 28, 2022

I would like to know if these two fish would get along in an evo 13.5? I know the blenny is mostly vegetarian while the goby is mainly carnivorous but they both dwell on the bottom. The Hector's goby is already in the tank and found his burrow. Would like to add a tailspot blenny if they are compatible. I only plan to keep softies and LPS, I mention that cause it has been reported that tailspots eat sps corals for one reason or another. I believe the goby has the best burrow but have no reason to think that the blenny wouldn't be able to find his own burrow.

Tailspot blenny is going to reside in your rocks/corals. It will be especially happy and less stressed if you attach a barnacle shell to your rock structure. It will make the barnacle its home. Will come out frequently exploring and looking at you. Will eat mysis or ROE eggs and also pellets like TDO.

I don't have experience with hector's gobies, but seems like they wouldn't clash.

Ok I bought a barnacle shell to attach somewhere. Thank you!
