we moved about a month ago, and since then ive been having what looks like hair algae grow on my glass. its not a lot, but i would rather not let it get to the point, where i need to do something. i already have a tribal blenny, and i had it before we moved but now that the hair algae is coming in, i want to get a lawnmower to take care of it. before i do that, i just wanted to make sure that the tribal wouldnt pick on the lawnmower, since they're both blennies. do you think i could add a lawnmower and get away with it?

I have both Lawnmower & Combtooth Blennys in a 65gal. I had to look up the Tribal Blenny and he has a aggression coloration change on his head just like my Combtooth. So, my Combtooth was in the tank first and is very teritorial. They do not fight but the Lawnmower does get chased off now and then. I'd say your OK but everyone is different. Good luck!
