1. issit a herbivore? wat do i feed it initially? pellets or lettuce/other veggies?

2. anyone tried to feed it mysis/brine shrimp?

Bicolour blennies are cute. They look like muppets. Definitely peaceful and don't grow very big. Will eat diatoms and similar green algae from glass and rock but will also take fish food, even fleshy meat.

Good value for money.

Mine is even feeding on BS and MS.

if u have cervices, u might wanna check it out when one of them uses it as its home.. very cute to see it swim backwards..

Hi,

if you are keeping one, avoid keeping coco worm. They like to like the coco worm & take the tube as their new home.

i just bot mi bi-colored blenny from harlequin for $8.... now its doin great in my tank.... yes, its very cute! but also weird personality... it started hiding in the rocks for awhile and adopted several holes as temp homes... i saw it went into one fave hole and cleared the hole of sand by ###### n spitting them out... real cool.....

it even got pissed wif mi clownfish when touring the LR near the clown's territory... when the clown got close, the blenny nipped at him once or twice...! didnt know tat it can be so fierce!

However, i was told by the harlequin pple that i can feed the blenny mysis shrimp? I hope tts correct? cos i saw on website its a herbivore!

mine was even trained to take dried pellets, have fun watching him skip from rocks to rocks !

[Creetin]

hmmmmm mi bicolored blenny didnt eat the mysis shrimp! mabbe its the usual thing of not eating immed. after purchase, but i saw him come out of his hole to nibble at the rocks a few times oredi.... could he be eating some algae on the rock?
