First Marine Aquarium.... Help: Blennies and Jawfish together?

Camer0n · 02/23/2014, 04:55 PM

I am starting my first saltwater aquarium. It is 120 gallons with a good amount of depth. I have been looking at what fish I want to start out with and I really seem to like blennies and jawfish. I was wondering if it would be possible with a tank of this size to keep a midas blenny, starry blenny, sandhopper blenny, and a yellowhead jawfish? I have heard that fish like this tend to fight each other a lot, but would the size of my tank and enough rock solve this problem????

I've got a sailfin blenny and a yellowhead jawfish that are completely compatible, ignoring each other even when the blenny is moving sand around messing up the jawfish's carefully constructed burrow.

hit or miss IMO

Your tank needs to be Long enough that they aren't forced to be too near each other all the time. 4' may not be enough. Especially for 4 conspecifics
