Blennies

[DYIguy]

I love them, never had a problem with any- I've had/have striped, canary, midas, tailspot, bicolor, Molly Miller. The only problem I've had so far is that my yellow watchman doesn't like my Molly millers- I'm thinking about adding another- suggestions? Right now I have a striped, Canary, 2 molly millers and a bicolor

Love my striped blenny. Always comes over to say hello (and feed me more)

I like the personality of my bi-color. I'd like to add another, but have read that they can be territorial and will be aggressive towards others with the same body shape. I spoke with Dyiguy about this. Is his experience more the exception or is the aggression overstated? I know tank size is a factor. My box of water is 75g with lots of rock.

I've had my striped and bicolor for a while- very hardy and get along fine. The striped is a bit more active- both have their cubbies to hang in. Right now my fave is the canary- always visible, always on the hunt for a morsel- belly is always full- I have lots of pods- love the color and gets along with all the other fish in the tank. The Molly Millers are the new adds- got the big one from a LFS- was in a glass tank for over 2 months- the other I bought online along with 2 others. the small/new one in the 75 scoots around on the top rocks- the one from the lfs hides most of the time and comes out to eat and scoots along the sand bed. the other 2 I have are in a 13g for the time being ( sell or trade in a few months) all my gobies eats frozen and flake ( except the canary) eat pods and pick at algae- the 2 in the 13g chase each other around the tank, but I read that's normal. I had Midas and a tailspot once- the midas was african and turned a musky color- the tailspot also lost it's vibrant coloration- but it could have been due to the environment- my tank wasn't the best at the time- would like to try one again

Wondering if I could add a forktail blenny to the tank- looks and sounds a lot like the Canary
