Compatibility Question:...

[cthoughts1]

Hey guys just wondering if anyone has ever kept a midas blenny with a firefish goby and whether or not that worked out well...? Any thoughts would be appreciated. ​

Also what if I added a purple pseudochromis to the mix, would all three be compatible? Thanks.

Nope, Midas would go after firefish, due to similar shape.

pseudochromis are territorial, unless u have a big tank, the firefish will get harrassed and never comes out from hiding.

midas blenny went after my firefish. I thought my firefish had died cause I hadn't seen him for awhile, but he was hiding under a rock; he was terrified of the blenny.

So how about the pseudocromis and the midas blenny? would that work??

In your tank it should be fine. Your tank is big enough man. Make sure you provide a lot of hiding places for your blenny.

My firefish was fine with both my Midas Blennies which unfortunately passed and I had a smaller tank then you.

I would veer away from the psuedochromis only because I'm a little nervous as to what your blotchy anthias would do.

You think the blotchy would attach the pseudochromis? I'm more concerned of the pseudochromis attacking my gold face sleepers or the blenny, etc.. Hmm.. I'm looking to add a couple of fish.. 1 is gonna be a scooter blenny and a clown goby, i want 1 more tho, either a purple pseudochromis or a firefish, which would you think is better?

Firefish try to get a pair that won't kill each other lol

 

[cthoughts1]

lol... yeah that's hard to come by... I put a "pair" together once, I had to take my tank down to capture the one who was almost killed.. Not a fun experience. ok, so stay away from the pseudochromis huh? darnit, my wife liked the fish..

 

[aznt1217]

I mean you could do it... which Psuedochromis are we talking about here

 

[cthoughts1]
