Blenny / Goby compatability questions

[tebstan]

I have a 90 gallon, and currently have a dragon goby. I love gobies and blennies, but I know I have to be careful about mixing. Here's what I'd like, long term. I know I have to add them slowly. Is there any particular order I should add them in, or any that I should skip altogether?

Diamond goby
Starry blenny
Yellow Watchman Goby
Green Clown Goby
Purple firefish
Scooter Blenny

Here is a compatibility chart even though this chart doesn’t really help your case. I just figured it would be a good place for it for others to see.

I have seen some territorial lawnmower blennies so the starry might get that way eventually but every fish has it's own personality. I've had a couple of those fish but not all of them. Just make sure your tank is covered well. I've had a shrimpgoby jump straight through eggcrate and didn't make it.

Add firefish last....they can be aggressive....the issue with all the different gobies and blennies is that they occupy the same type of habitat (in general). The clown gobies, and blennies like to set on rocks and will be all over your rockwork, competing for habitat. Expect some competition. I think in a tank your size and if you have plenty of LR with lots of nooks and crannies, it could be done....not sure about how a diamond goby acts, as I have never kept those before......Do you have other fish in there as well, that occupy the water column?

Sorry, I meant Dragon goby, not diamond goby. My original plan was the diamond, but the dragon is so much cooler.
I've got some Clarkii's and blue/green chromis in there as well. I'm contemplating a pygmy angel, but that's a ways off still. I have lots of rock and caves. All the live rock I've picked out is the real branchy stuff (tonga and fiji), with lots of surface area and random shapes so I could have fun aquascaping. 100lb looks like a lot more. I've got eggcrate and a canopy, with only openings in the back.
A fish made it through the eggcrate even? He must have had a death wish.
The scooter is a dragonette, and the firefish are dartfish... so do they even really count as blennies and gobies? Mostly I'm concerned about the gobies. I've already got the dragon goby, but I'd really enjoy a clown and watchman. I think I've got room for two, but I don't know about all three.

Well dont know if this helps i have 2 engineer goby,a panda goby also a drgaon goby living with a starry blenny and they live just fine together but like everyone mentioned every fish is different

Sounds like that would be alright. Watch the clown goby if you have an overflow though. I had a yellow clown goby decide he wanted to go hang out in my sump not realizing he would have to go over a waterfall to get there! Also, make sure your pod population is well established for the red scooter since they love pods almost as much as mandarins.
