I just picked up 3 barnacle blennies from the LFS today (that was all they had, i just asked for every one). They are my new favorites, I'm considering dropping every other fish and just doing these little guys. Each one has found a little rock hole and just sits there with its head poked out. When there is food they dart faster than any other tiny fish I've ever seen to get it and rush back to their hole. I've got three, I'm considering about 20 and a clean up crew, I feel like with that many I could maybe get a bit of breeding going on (my tank is pretty stable generally, I feel like maybe its possible) and hopefully that would semi sustain the population (they only live for about 1.5-2 years). I'll post pictures later but they are awesome fish that seem really hardy, they found homes really fast, avoided my nippy clownfish, and are already taking pellets. Any other barnacle blenny keepers that can send some advice my way?
