Lets talk Blenny!

I picked up a Scooter Blenny about 8 months ago and have had no problems. It's been a great addition to my tank.

Have had midas, lawnmower and starry blenny. All 3 had great personalities and were great additions except for the starry.... Bastards are aggressive... was the boss of the tank. Put my 4.5" hippo tang in the corner... killed my female clown and 5" diamond gobby.

After reading up on them it turns out the starry blenny is known for being aggressive.

The lawnmower was my favorite... great personality, active and peaceful. Same with the midas but midas' don't perch which was my favorite thing about the lawnmower/starry.

My wife has a LMB, named "Nibbler"...he is just a fantastic fish to watch and his camouflage is amazing.

I have three in my 110 tall. I have a midas, a bicolor and a scooter. Added the midas last, took a couple of weeks for them not fight.

I have a lawnmower who is about 5" long named Grandpa Nommers. He is hard to spit, especially with our other large showy fish, but when he IS, his awesome personality makes him everyone's favorite fish.

I'm on the fence right now about another tailspot or a trio of barnacle blennies. It's turning out to be a really tough decision.

Any advice on which to get between these? would a trio of barnacle blennies be able to be kept with a tailspot?

Love my little scooter blenny. Also thinking about a midas. They're so entertaining!

FYI, scooter blenny's are not blenny's but rather are dragonets.

I'm a big fan of blennies, have a starry in my 75g and a bicolor in a 20g. Very entertaining fish and both are model citizens other than my starry going after my red serpent star for some reason.

Depends on the size of your tank, I have a 40 B so it's one or the other for me.

I have a Bi-Color Blenny. Love his face! Very active. Blenny's are just very cool fish

I love blennies, but don't keep any of the rock huggers (I love midas blennies though), due to their bad eating manners (ie corals) and/or tempers... I put up with a lot from some fish, but like dating, "personality" only gets you so far

I have a midas blenny one of the biggest characters in my tank! He loves schooling with my bartlett anthias lol

My starry blenny is awesome. He eats anything I give him and has a colorful dsposition. Definitely one of my favorite fish.

I just asked my Starry if he'd mind if I added a Midas and Tailspot again.

He said it was fine with him.
