I have a 65 gallon tank, and right now I have 1 Onxy Clownfish, 2 PJ Cardinals, and 1 Yellow Eyed Tang. I was thinking about adding some kind of Goby or Blenny. Any suggestions?

That's a good pick. Thanks. Are they hard to acclimate?Orange spotted blenny
Thanks, I'm thinking i may go with a Midas Blenny. My tank needs more bright color.Ember blennies are an interesting fish. Only dominant males develop the red markings. They can be aggressive toward any similarly shaped fish.
Suggestions from me would include, orange spotted, midas, stigmatura, or starry blenny.
I'll check it out.What about a fang blenny? Active throughout water column, peaceful toward pretty much all other fish (except other fang blennies), brave and curious without being obnoxious. Depending on variety can be quite colorful. About as reef safe as you can get. Wonderful, very underrated fish IMHO.
9watchman goby, pretty easy to acclimate too
I thought about a Manderin, but just not sure my tank is ready for one. I wouldn't put a gobie and a blenny. They wouldn't get along would they?You'll need copepods but Manderin gobys are really cool. Try not to have a blenny and a goby though, depending on the species, a blenny can eat a goby out of a house and home... literally.

Blennies and gobies make excellent tankmates in most cases. Though they both are usually site-oriented, they each occupy different ecological niches, so most often ignore each other.I thought about a Manderin, but just not sure my tank is ready for one.

What kind of goby is being outcompeted? Every goby I've ever owned came out and ate food provided. If you are having a fish being outcompeted for food adding a little more food solves that issue. It doesn't even need to be much as their stomachs are only about as large as their eyeball, so one or two bites is fine, if it gets more, even better.They'll get along but depending on the species of each, the blenny will eat much faster then the gobie causing the gobie to starve to death.
