    I actually think the Molly Miller probably needs a bigger tank :( They should be in a well established 30 gal+ tank.

    Honestly in a 14 gallon tank you should not add anymore fish.

    A lot of bristle worms tells me there a lot of available food for them. There population is self regulated by available food.

    If you want to add more fish you should up grade or add a sump.

    I see no big issue with the current stock that routine water changes do not take care of.

    As long as you are meeting the dietary needs of the blenny and have plenty of algae available.

    Yes I did look at liveaquaria and they say min 30 gallons so for long term success you may want to up grade.
