I've been searching for a tail spot blenny for my reefer 170 over other blennies mainly because the max size of 2.5" compared to 4-5" of other algae eating blennies. But due to supply issues lately, no one has them. My tank could really use an algae eating fish to compliment the cuc as I'm in the uglies but not suffering any major issues yet, although i can start to see some hair growing minimally.
I have found an affordable bi color blenny locally, but since i was planning on long term size stocking for this tank the bi color i would eventually want to sell back to lfs or local reefer when tail spots become available again. That is not the ideal, but thinking i might need to do that in order to stay ahead of any algae issues along with maintaining my good parameters.
Any opinions on bi color vs tail spot in terms of eating algae and or eventual disposition in a fully stocked reefer 170 with planned two clowns, Mandarin, six line and possibly one chromis?
