    Default fish rivalry

    Other than the tang I never had any fish NOT get along so I am not even sure what to expect. I no longer have the 215g tank. In it I had a group of small masked gobies that I keep now in a 29g nano. I can't think of a fish more benign looking than tiny gobies! But yesterday we added an adorable tailspot blenny (OMG is there anything cuter than a little blenny face? how can you not love a blenny like that?). And one of the gobies is not liking the blenny at all! Is it just going to be for the first few days until they sort things out? Or is it an indicator that this will not work out and I will need to remove one of them now? How does this sort of thing work? Even with the attacks by the way the blenny seems not terribly stressed. He hangs out on rocks, has great appetite etc.

    Is there actual physical damage to the tailspot? If not, since he doesn't seem to be stressed about the situation I would just leave it be and see if they won't work it out. I go through this every time I add a wrasse to my 72g, and inevitably after a few days they all just ignore each other again.
