    I think they should be fine together. Do you already have the cleaner shrimp and are thinking of adding the blenny? If that's the case then you should be fine.

    I think they'll be fine. But, why do you think they wouldn't? Am I missing something?

    FWIW, I keep peppermints, cleaners and lawnmower blennys in the same tanks here.

    Yes I agree to above, cleaner shrimps share a symbiotic relation w/ alot of fish as parasite removal the lawnmower blenny may actually even appreciate it. just be sure there is plenty of food for everyone and should be ok. and of course the shrimp and gobie both have staked domains, some even rearrange their aquascaping a little to force re-claiming territory of all the inhabitants.

    Dive_Master,

    Are you asking cause you've seen or heard about aggression in Lawnmowers? I have one that harrassed two other fish to death, so I can understand your concern. FYI, he left the CBS in the tank alone though.
