blenny

Unsure what to call this or how to describe it other than it looks like the skin is shedding. Literally no other weird behavior and is eating well. It’s had it for a few months now and nothing has happened. It doesn’t change at all, stays looking like the photos. thoughts?

Hey all! I recently bought a lawnmower blenny for my nano (20g) tank, to curb some early algae growth. The tank is a month old now, started fully with live rock, and it’s other inhabitants include two clowns, one banded shrimp, and a few snails. All water parameters are stable and in line. The...

Hello all! So I have a striped fangblenny, and he’s always done great. However he often gets injuries on his face, and I’m not sure what it could possibly be. I believed maybe he was flashing due to flukes, and I did two rounds of prazi. The injuries are still appearing though. They’re always...

Hello all. So I have an incredibly weird question. I just purchased a Flametail Blenny, and I want to begin quarantine with him, specifically tank transfer method. Unfortunately, this Blenny absolutely loves his shell. To catch him, my LFS literally just put their hand in, and grabbed the shell...

Hello all, So in one of my tanks, I have two fish who I have seen flash: a blenny and a fang blenny. A while back my tanks got ich (Very visible ich too), and all fish were flashing like crazy and I quarantined all fish. All fish underwent 30 days of copper, and then an additional 60 days of...

I’ve read in the past that blenny and goby shouldn’t be together, however recently I have read that as they occupy different space they get along fine? Any experiences/suggestions? I have plenty of live rock, caves, holes, ledges and areas that break apart the whole tank. If this could work...

Looking for stocking suggestions! Ultimately want to add a bit more action to the tank... Have a 40g reef tank with: Paired ocellaris clowns Yellow head jawfish Ywg Wheeler goby with shrimp Baggai cardinal Royal grammar Feather duster + coco worm I'm thinking maybe 1-2 more fish to add a...

As the title says, I have a tailspot blenny that was being harassed by my starry blenny pretty consistently for about 4 days. I removed the starry blenny yesterday morning, as I noticed the aggression was not calming down. Today, (it’s late afternoon for me) I come home to the tailspot dead :(...

Hello, Our Bi-color Blenny has been looking increasingly thin over the last month or two. We’ve had him since Feb 2022, Wild caught from our LFS. He had already been there a couple of weeks and was doing good. We’ve been dealing with some other issues in the tank and didn’t realize how bad it...

Hello. going through my options for a third fish. Hopefully a blenny/goby can help out a bit with my GHA. Is a tailspot blenny okay in a tank this size ? there’s plenty of hidey holes & caves. I’m just concerned about having crushed aragonite substrate and not sand. Please let me know your...

Hi, I’ve noticed that my starry blenny turns white everytime after he eats. Besides that he seems fine, been in the tank for 6 months. He eats like a pig but everytime after feeding he seems in distress. He starts breathing very fast and turns completely white for like 30 sec to a min. After...

I have this coral and this bi-color blenny that seems to love perching on my corals and I have even seen him picking at it as if he’s trying to eat it. My first question was what is the name of this coral? I only bought it a month ago and forgot what it was called but I want more. And my other...

A client of mine added a scooter blenny to his 30 gal cube. I’m pretty sure it has run out of pods now and the fish is in decline. I only see the tank once a month. But I’m not really sure how urgent it is or how to assess the body condition of the fish. Can anyone tell me if it’s healthy? It’s...

Hello R2R! To preface, I have an Aquatop 24 Gallon AIO Cube, and still have issues with green hair algae (I used to have bubble and red pom pom algae, but both types have died out over time). I recently had a bit of a snail die off event, losing 9 Astrea snails over the span of a few weeks. I...

As title stated, please tell me your experience

Hi all, just got this Midas Blenny and I think he’s stressed out (see video). Looks like he’s breathing heavily. Is he gonna make it? :( My other fish are doing amazingly out and about any tip on what I should do? Is this normal behaviour for a new fish?

do you all think I could keep an ember blenny in a 10G IM Nuvo? I have an in sump/AIO chamber refugium and I plan on it being the only fish in the tank besides some inverts, I have heard they can get up to 5 inches and that seems like a big number, just wondering on your opinions, can’t seem to...

Hey All! Super new to the hobby. Just “inherited” a 120 gal tank + fish from a friend who was moving. I’m looking for tips and advice as to how I can make the tank better. It’s a 120 gallon tank running on a fluval FX4 filter, eheim jager thermostat heater, 2 AI prime lights and 2...

Hi everyone. You may think what you’re about to read is crazy or a joke. Just hear me out and then let me know what you think. One week ago I added a starry blenny to my mixed reef (took me 3 months to find one locally). Main purpose was for him to eat some random GHA. Not a big issue, just...

Hi guys, I caught this Blenny at a seashore, but it doesn't look like any of those in commercial trade. Anyone know its scientific or common name? It's currently in quarantined before adding to my 10g tank.
