    Kelvin, you say that a blue cheek goby would dig too much...i have looked at the list of available species to me..
    How would a "Canary Blenny" do? They get abt 5"...i could get abt 4"..
    Thing is, i read this..

    The Canary Blenny is considered venomous and should be kept only with caution around children having tank access since it may perceive fingers as an attacker and deliver a similarly painful bite.
    When feeding the fish, would it try to bite me? And if it got me, what would the result be? (because of the venom i mean)



    I am considering either this fish or the scooter blenny.
    Please advice on your personal preferance, and also please advice in respect to the fishes that will be in my tank..
    Thanks once again,
    James

    canary blenny.. i would rather go with blue cheek goby.. coz of the ferocious personality... but also because of that.. it is able to protect itself.. and also if u need, can consider a dragon wrasse.. if not, u can just get a scooter blenny.. it is fine.. hahaha..

    Why??
    Because its damn expensive thats why! It is £10 per lb!
    Thats why i opted for a DSB..that is more affordable (but still damn pricey)..

    Kelvin, it is not £10 per KG, its £10 per lb!
    I have ocean rock in there at the moment..lots of caves, hidey holes etc..
    So, is that a yes or a no on the wrasse?! It would be about the same size as the lion, maybe a few cm bigger..
