Not the Tail Spot Blenny...they only get about 2 - 2 1/2" long max. They are the smallest of the Blenny's.

I would wait at least a month...longer if you can control yourself as the longer you wait the more mature your tank becomes and the less stress will be placed on any livestock when you put them in.

I would go for it . I can't believe you held out this long . You certainly have more patience than me . I had two fish in my 14g cube after a week and they are still thriving. Although I did use LR and water from an established . I still think you are ready though!

Oh.... yea I got a yellow gobie and a cleaner shrimp. Aclamatied them both for 1.5 hrs, 15 mins for temp, and every 10-15 mins after put about an ounce of tank water in each bag for another hour +. the shrimp is doing great but the gobie died in 2 days all my pram's are good. Love the shrimp! I bought a dendro in stead, still thinking about another fish may be a fire fish.

Thats too bad. I wonder what happened to your goby?
When you said all your parameters were great, what were they?
Just trying to figure it out. Sometimes that just happens. Did you ask the LFS to feed the tank the goby was in? I like to see the fish that I choose have a good appetite, usually it is a good indicator that they are healthy.
That's my tip of the day.

citron goby, very small, or get a sexy anemone shrimp for something that small, just as good as a fish
