Well isn't this adorable

These two sleep in the same corner of the tank every night. Midas blenny and Mandarin.

Hey my mandarin likes the front right of my tank too :)

That's pretty awesome!

That's interesting since Mandys are generally pretty passive and the Midas Blenny can be more assertive. Then again all fish are individuals. Probably my favorite is the vid of the Mandarin that fought back against a clownfish that bullied it. Normally it's frustrating to see aggression but few things make me happier than seeing a bully get a taste of his own medicine from a surprising source.

It’s super cool! I have a mandarin and a scooter blenny that snuggle together at night!

That's so neat! I've never seen that before. I wonder if it's common?

Mine sure didn't snuggle up with anything. It was definitely a loner.

When I posted on the forums about it awhile back, I was told they were natural enemies and it was uncommon.
