I have my mean tailspot blenny caught in a net as you read this. Trying to get the new firefish used to the tank without blenny chasing him.

What should I do with blenny??

Thanks for any help!

a plastic speggetti strainer will float in the top of the water till you can set up another tank.... or a bucket...

ive had similiar problems with new additions and usually it stops, you could move a few rocks around, the firefish is really fast so he has that going for him.

Thanks for the reply.

I'll make a trip to the store to get a plastic spaghetti strainer. I should mention the net is still in the water, just blenny can not swim out.

I just got done moving the rock work around. I thought the firefish would be ok too because they are really quick, but what happens is blenny will chase the firefish to its hiding spot and trap it in there while biting at it!

Im new to the RC as of late last nite.I have had the same thing happen.Put up a post and no response so what I did was made the question short and eyecatching for further reply.To answer your further question I assume they dont answer because if you read thru all the forum questions you might find your answer.Now what I had read earlier for your case is move the rocks around and put him back or put up a mirror and that will distract the other fish and he wil chase himself instead of the other fish.I hope my lil info helps.

id just let nature take its course, theyll probably be fine once dominance is established.
