Looking for recommendations on a blenny - I want a lively, active fish w/ some personality, that doesn't grow too big. I've been thinking of a lawnmower blenny, midas blenny, or starry blenny. The tailspot blenny seems perfect but I can't find it anywhere. It's sold out on every store online and I visited like all 15 LFS in my area with no luck. I've been looking for ~4 months too. Any thoughts on the best blenny for me? It would need to be peaceful as it would live with some clownfish, royal gramma, firefish, and YWG.

I love my Midas blenny :). He’s personable, pretty, swims around the tank, plays well with others....unless they try and get in his cave, lol.

That matches my experience. I haven't had any of the other blennies, but my Midas is absolutely delightful.

Out of stock there too :/

Out of stock everywhere. I've been looking for weeks for a tailspot. I finally settled and grabbed a starry blenny from my LFS and he's probably the coolest fish in the tank. Eats EVERYTHING. At first he was only eating the frozen brine but he's figured out that he's supposed to be eating algae as well. Cleaned up some patches of GHA in the tank. Really neat fish.
