those are beautiful midas blennies. they seem to come in many different colors, some dull and almost brown, some golden yellow.. the midas blennies in those pictures are better looking than most i've seen

Blennies are one of my favorite fish. I am trying to decide which one to put in my seahorse tank.
Bigshade I saw your blenny on live aquaria and have been thinking about getting one. Is it aggressive? I would like to find one less aggressive then my midas for the seahorse tank. Here are mine. I lost this guy recently. Surprisingly it was my peppermint hog and not the midas that killed him. |

Bi-color blennie
My favorite fish. |

nickiwit: my tailspot isnt aggressive at all, it was among the first fish in tank, and hasnt fought with anyone i introduced, its much closer to a bicolor blenny in tempermant and size than the midas. it primarily eats the tank algae, but also picks at anything else that i put in. its confident, and will swim anywhere. as most blennies it has its special hangout it returns to often. i bought him a 15 room barnacle cluster "mansion"
i hope if you order it online, they send you a nice looking one, i always prefer hand picking from LFS. as far as keeping it in a seahorse tank, it might work, when i put in food, it doesnt go crazy after it like midas usually do, it'll just grab a piece and run back to barnacle. so i dont think it will compete much with your seahorses for food but i have no idea how they'll interact. blennies are so curious |

Thanks for the info BigShade. I would also like to hand pick one but I have never seen one in a lfs here.
I think I am going to order one once I get a new QT set up. |

Midas Blennies are one of my favorites.Very active,beautiful,and friendly.Mine gets along well with my starry blenny.I think it would be too active for a seahorse tank.
I have had 2 algae blennies(in seperate tanks).Both were territorial and chased all the other inhabitants when they thought I wasn't watching.They were little angels when I was in clear view.Both of mine ate any kind of prepared food that I put in the tank. Bi-Colors have been reported to nip clams. I would really like to get a tailspot.All the pics I have seen are beautiful. |

yeah my LFS start carrying those klausewitz blennies.. definitely cute, how does it behave? they look to have fangs
|

they are very docile fish. they eat well. they like to find a hole in a rock to call home. mine has two new holes. one near the glass for day, and one near the top for sleeping. awsome fish. big shade, ask your lfs to feed him and you will fall in love. sorry for the bullry pic. for you who can't see him he is in the hole in the center. he has a peach chin

forgot one thing. not shy about eating, but would stand back some. little shy about being seen.

fish fanv you can see his tail sticking out the other side. he is dark because he was sitting still when the pic was taken. should get one while eating.
|
#66
|
|||
|
|||
ah now i can just make out the tail. he's pretty cute even blurry. if i had another tank i would get one. maybe i could get one for my 5.5? or is that too small for one?

he will get along with most any fish. should be fine in 5.5. he mostly just hangs in his hole, unless eating.

did you get a better picture of your blenny yet goalieman92?
http://www.viewoftheoceans.com/html/...senius_li.html if i remember the ones i saw in LFS had better color then one in above link. does it eat tank algae? |
#69
|
|||
|
|||
won't eat tank algae. i feed it mush. mine has better color than that but won't come out of the rock much because food will sink to him.
|
#70
|
|||
|
|||
better patterns too
|

|

he has black paralelograms running on his sides wher the black is on your pic and has a red stripe running down his back.

yeah i remember it was very nice looking..
the tailspot is active... always cruising around the tank looking for algae to munch on or something to do. the fish has a full stomach at all times it seems. a real fatty. grew fast too |
#73
|
|||
|
|||
i don't have much algae. wouldn't be able to keep a tailspot happy.

i dont know about hair algae i dont have any, it didnt bother with green slime algae.. seems to really like the brown algae on glass/rocks. the back of tank is peppered with his little mouth marks from biting the glass. its frightening how many there are actually. busy fish
