Bi-colour Blenny

[LiveRock]

Hi

I am thinking of adding a bi-colour blenny to my tank for algae control.

Anyone has experience with this fish?

Is it difficult? Any potential problems?

Thanks!

meet my blenny

most of the time he will juz reverse-park into hole on LR. once a while will come out and nip at algae on glass/rock. so far hv not seen it fighting with the clowns/copperband/cleaners.

conclusion: peaceful + interesting animal

May I know the 'average' price of tis cute fellow?

Seen any lately?

Thanks!

Hi liverock,

Try coralfarm, they always have very brilliant color bi-color blennies, n best of all surprisingly cheap!

About them running berserk, I believe its varies from one to another, likewise not all angels will peck on corals or clams, well mine dont!

$10-$15? Must be gold-plated A decent price should be $5. That's what I paid for mine (about 2.5cm long)

[dodo]

no...it's DIAMOND PLATED! <_< i am giving a worst case scenario...if u get a $5 sick freak...by all means go & get it

[Fishfreak]

Why get so worked up, dodo? I wouldn't even take it for free if its sick ... or a freak ...

[Creetin]

liverock, u can try harlequin, i got mine there at $8. give them a call first...

unless u drive, or else u will find coralfarm veri the far!

I talked about the price but not about the 'experience' liverock wanted.

Mine lives together with softies, shrooms and LPS. No problem that I can see. Then again, I hardly see it too as it has decided the best hole's at the back of the tank ....

I did see it munch on algae though.

Hope this helps.

My bi-colour lives in my surface skimmer and eats BS, MS and flakes. Lives happily with all corals and fish. A really beauty! Use to eat algae off the glass but has since stopped doing this duty.

Also, should not cost more than $8. Got mine for $6 at New Trio about a year ago.

Thanks, fellows!

BTW, where is harlequin and coralfarm?

Never been these 2 places, me always go to sealife, reborn or lorong harlus.

Cheers!
