Biota Silver Streak Blenny

[One Reefing Boi]

Anyone have one of these guys? Was interested in getting one from Biota. Are they aggressive? All my other fish are very peaceful and don’t want any issues.

Anyone have thoughts?

I've had one before they are fine.

Okay thanks, anything in particular I should know or pretty basic fish care?

Not that I know of...

I had one, it was incredibly peaceful.
The only real concern is diet - they need a lot of small frequent meals to keep from starving.

It should be good then!
Only other issue I can think of is if you have any other blenny, it may bully the kamohara.

Only other tank mates would be 2 pajama cardinals, possum wrasse, firefish, rainford goby, blue neon cleaner goby, mandarin pair, and a yellow watchman goby

They're pretty peaceful with the other fish. We keep them with the cleaner wrasse at our facility and don't see any aggression. We've also kept them with a myriad of fish in our 300g office tank with no issues even with similar shaped species like dragon gobies, links, and a forktail blenny

My only concern actually would be that the mandarin’s

I wouldn’t worry about aggression between the two. As for feeding, I don’t think the blenny would dent a pod population enough to hurt a mandarin.
