Advice on fish

[lesley]

Hi I am a newbie to the marine world and would like to ask if I could put 2 manderine fish (unsure of sex) in my tank with my lawnmower blenny he is a very active boy and I was told that all three fish being rock dwellers and possible male could create problems. I am to new for to many problems lol. Please advise so I can let the seller know. She says its ok but then she has a very large tank. Mine is only 165 litre. Please allow for my spelling. Thanks Lesley

No you cant. If i understand correctly its about a 40 gallon tank, maybe a little bigger, and that is not large at all. Manderins eat copepods, and that is a very special food that they will not have unless the tank is bigger and has tons or rock. Manderins eat thousands of pods each day and you wont have enough for even 1 manderin
