Hi everyone,

Kind of a weird question, that starts with a long back story. I had a bicolor blenny in my tank and he was happy as can be, grazing algae zipping around the tank. He was always visible. One day he was just gone. no where to be seen. I looked every day for two weeks. (My tank is 36 gallons so there are limited places to hide) I decided to get another bicolor because they are AWESOME! I put the blenny in and the next day I see two blennies poking their heads out of the rocks. So with the nature of blennies, my original didn't let the new one out of his hole. This went on for a few days. Now my original is completely purple (lost its yellow) and the other is brilliantly colored with white stripes. They no longer try to kill each other, but swim around in circles and then retreat to their holes. I am curious as I have read briefly on another site that this may be signs of breeding, and if so, is there anything I can do to facilitate it. I am most intrigued.

It sounds like you may indeed have a pair to me. I have a mated pair of Tailspot Blennies, though they spawn fairly regularly I've not seen any sign of wee ones yet. Would like to learn if it was feasible to raise them or if even possible to.

Cheers, Todd [/SEIZE]
