Two Spot Bimaculatus Blenny in a 10 gallon

[Big Mistake]

It is claimed they need 10 gallon minimum?

Really? I was expecting a 1.5 inch fish like a tropical fish.

1.5 inches long but say 3/4 inch tall ... it will grow up and out?

Ordered from LiveAquaria. I guess they suggest the two spot will tolerate each other?

I could have 10 in the 10 gallon and they might see each other once a week.

I was thinking Lawnmower Blenny but was concerned about a 5 inch fish in a 10 gallon. Might try that too.

It did the Blenny thing for a bit posing here and there, I think I will never see it again. Like the crab, shows up every few weeks at night.

I was concerned due to the aquascape of the tank I might have to add place for it to hide ...

Probably just a snack for the green bubble anemone added at the same time.

Or some copepods ate it as a sushi appetizer.

If I try to feed it nori the crab will probably roll the two spot up and have it for a late night snack.

Guess I won't need to add a protein skimmer to handle the added bio load.

This is not a hobby, it is a ...

Now this is an odd thing.

Up until now the tank has been fishless.

It has contained an emerald crab. Rarely seen except after (tank) night.

Suddenly the emerald crab is out during (tank) day.

At first since it was near the two spot ... maybe the crab had ideas for dinner.

Maybe it feels safer? The two spot appears to be fearless at this point.

The two spot appears to be eating and is spending the day posing between snacking on the back glass.

Might drop a tiny piece of nori in the tank, how would it ever find it?

Like Neon Tetras, need a bunch of Neon Tetras to find food. (Do like their raw bloody beef.)

A lone Neon Tetra will starve no matter how much food is put into the tank.

So add a two spot and a tiny green bubble anemone and the tanks seems to have changed once again.

No fish is probably a ...
