SRC Member wa_lanz Posted January 29, 2005 SRC Member Share Posted January 29, 2005 It requires a well-established tank of at least 50 gallons or larger with plenty of scattered rocks for perching and hiding, and live rock with microalgae growth on which to feed. The Highfin may nip at or eat some small-polyped stony corals and clam mantles. http://www.peteducation.com/article.cfm?cl...&articleid=1952 does urs nip on sps DB??

DeepBlue Posted January 29, 2005 Share Posted January 29, 2005 kept 2 of these ..one in the old tank ..one now...never. Its safer than bicolour ...its just interested in my tank walls.. It should be a highfin if I'm not wrong. Used to think its a sailfin....let me check it out not the one in your link...more like the one on the top of the pic in the link: highfin BTW: MOST blenny may run the risk of nibbing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RAV-65 Posted January 29, 2005 Author Share Posted January 29, 2005 BTW: MOST blenny may run the risk of nibbing The lawnmower algae blenny seems a pretty safe choice... at least in my experience...

RAV-65 Posted January 30, 2005 Author Share Posted January 30, 2005 Hey Rav-65, you seems to like red alot! By the way, do you have successes with Cauliflower? I never dared to try.... Yeah bro... red tends to colour up the tank better!! As for the cauliflower... been with me for about 2 weeks... still healthy, but dunno how long I can keep it, used to have it when I was still a newbie on a 2 feet tank... and I would say they're not easy to keep, but this time round, they're doing fine... *keep fingers crossed* Quote People do not plan to fail; Often they just fail to plan...
