Tank is 72 G. Okay to have blenny and a goby?

Yes...but

Bicolor blennys are kind of pains in the ass. I wouldn't worry about him and the goby ( I had both in my big system, they stayed away from each other, they had the room) but when they were together they just did the normal territorial things, but the bi-color blenny was just a general pain in the ass.

LOL! How is a fish a pain in the ass?

A husband is a pain in the ass, but a fish?

I have a bicolor & a tiger goby in my 90g with no problems and so far my bicolor hasn't been a PITA

I've had 3 bi-colors and yes they were a pain in the ass....just an abundance of desire to annoy other tank inhabitants.

Ha Ha Ha!

A pain in the ass??! Like how so...gonna chase my other fish and nip at fins or what?

What I really wanted to know was if the bicolor and the redlip blenny have similar personalities? Love the character of the Redlip but a fellow Canreefer has offered me her Bicolor.

And why is it that she doesnt want her bi-color any more? Mine was a great fish with tons of character and Pi$$ and vinegar. He was maybe two inches and would take every opportunity to bite a 4-5" PBT that I had. I thought it was kinda funny....he would shoot out bite the tang in the tail and then run and hide. The tang would get so irate and chase the first fish it saw, which never was the offender.
