    Blenny Starvation problem

    I’m interested in getting a Blenny but I’ve been reading they starve a lot in captivity, particularly the Midas and lawnmower Blennie’s. Do all Blennies have this problem? If not do you think bicolor, canary, or tailspot Blennies are a good choice?

    Sailfin / Algae Blenny

    The Sailfin / Algae Blenny is an energetic, algae-eating marine fish perfect for reef tanks due to its natural grazing behavior. Typically reaching 4–6 inches, it requires a 50+ gallon aquarium with plenty of rocks and open swimming space, as it spends most of its time browsing for algae. This...

    Least Aggressive Dotty back questions

    Hey there! I have a 20-gallon Innovative Marine Drop off tank. I own a Harp tail Blenny and two bonded Clownfish. Recently in the last month, I had purchased an Indigo Dotty back that I had ultimately ended up bringing back to my LFS. He was such a gorgeous fish and was super bold and fun to...

    Group of Barnacle Blennies for nano tank?

    I am transitioning my nem 4.8G deskmate tank to a 7G sump tank. But I really like the deskmate so plan to use it still. So with that being said. I'm thinking of doing a group of barnacle blennies in the tank. My LFS had some real tiny ones in a pico tank which was cool. Likely juveniles. I...

    Looking to add some life!

    Hey y’all! I’m looking to add some life to my 65gal reef tank. The tank looks somewhat empty a lot of the time, I think in part due to the fish I have. Looking to add another species or two and am open to suggestions. No wrasses as I’ve had some bad experiences with them ;0( Current stock: -...

    Peacock blenny (Salaria pavo) experience

    I'll post my experience here with wild-caught individuals from the Adriatic sea. It's not a common fish in the trade. This is my first saltwater tank with limited freshwater experience (<1y), so don't be surprised by unusual parameters and setups.

    Rhino Blenny help

    Hello! Yesterday, I purchased a rhino blenny and have fallen in love with him. He hasn’t eaten yet and doesn’t appear to be interested in spot feeding with bloodworms/brine shrimp. I’ve seen some sites that say they would eat copepods. Should I wait and see if he starts taking the food? Or order...

    Two Midas Blennies

    Okay to make a long story short. - I’ve always loved the golden Midas Blenny - Trustworthy shop gets one in and says it’s a darker blue coloration but will go back to gold when not stressed due to them being in the tank earlier. - It’s been 3 months and still the same coloration. I do love the...

    EMERGENCY Lawnmower Blenny Bacterial Infection?

    Hey guys, my lawnmower blenny started showing signs of what I’m assuming is a bacterial infection a few days ago. His right side started with what seemed like a little “blister”, and after a day or two it got a bit worse it seems and ate away at his right fin. He’s in a 20 long, live rock and...

    Blenny Identification

    I purchased what was supposed to be a Sailfin Blenny but I believe it’s actually a Starry Blenny. It’s about 3 inches long already, mostly black/dark brown with some white/lighter colored stripes and white in front of the pectoral fins, on the face (especially mouth), and cirri. The tail and...

    Do algae grazing blennies make a difference

    In the process of starting up a nano tank and I am ironing out my fish list. I would like an algae grazing fish, but because of the 25g nano I am limited to small fish. So do algae grazing blennies make a difference? Is there another fish for the job? I have also read that many blennies nip...

    Tailspot blenny with sexy shrimp?

    New to-be reefer here! I've been planning my first tank and I am planning on having a group of sexy shrimp and a tailspot blenny in a 2.6 gallon Fluval Spec III. I am a bit worried if the blenny will attack and kill my little shrimp babies. If that is the case, a red cap goby would likely be my...

    What to do about this algae? Also, dosing?

    Hey, this algae has coated my entire tank. I’ve a fake rock background on my tank which is also coated with it. I’ve no nitrate or nitrite or ammonia.

    The Wolf of Water Street

    Let's all take a vote on what fish is the most commonly misidentified and/or misnamed fish in aquarium keeping. While you mull over your answer, the correct one is Congrogadus subducens. Looks like an Eel, acts like a Blenny, and it gets called either and sometimes both and at least one common...

    Blenny ID

    This little blenny arrived with a Live rock shipment, as a freebie only a couple days ago. A suprise from the nice ladies at Tampa Bay Saltwater. I need an exact ID please. He is 1" in length, and quite elusive. This is the best picture I could get so far. Thanks for taking the time to ID

    HELP! I don’t think my Blenny is eating.

    So picked up a lawnmower Blenny as my first first in my newly cycled tank. I have attempted to feed him both frozen brine shrimp and Nori but I can’t seem to catch him eating either. I have my nori clipped maybe a little to high but I didn’t think it was an issue. Is there any other food people...
