    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.

    Midas blenny vs canary blenny

    Can someone please tell me the difference between the midas and canary blenny? Also, which one is more active and is always out? And which one is the most peaceful (with inverts as well)? I've also read somewhere that the midas blenny's bite is venomous, is this true?

    Puffer and blenny?

    Looking to put a very small Toby puffer (leopard or Valentini) in a 20 gallon. Only for a year and then will be moving and upgrading. Would it be possible to get a blenny as well? I hear mixed reviews on Blennies in 20 gallons, I know 30 is usually the minimum recommendation. Thanks!
