Were any of the above Barnacle Blennies? Ours was very tiny when he died, I don't think they get very big though - I think I read something like 2 inches max. Aparently you can keep whole colonies of the things, they are completely non-aggressive towards each other and other blennies (not much choice on the latter - he was dwarfed by the other blennies!). Just one was adorable, I can't imagine how cute a whole rock full of them would be!

I wish I could have a blenny, as you can tell by my avitar, not a good idea. They are so cool, I would love to have a damsel too.....Oh well, maybe I will be able to have a smaller tank and have a couple cool little fish. Wish in one hand..............................

Congrats! They tend to be shy at first, but if you sit in front of the tank (as I'm sure you do anyway) he'll eventually become friendly with you and will come out front and perch right in front of you and look at you whenever you are there. Can't wait to see a pic! (Ours always are afraid of the camera, maybe I should leave it in front of the aquarium as well!)

Does the cleaner shrimp jump on the LMB and clean him? When our LMB was sick, I tried getting a cleaner since I read about them cleaning the gills of fish out. (the LMB had labored breathing) That was over a month ago, our LMB died and I still don't see the cleaner doing anything to the other 2 fish. Came close to the bicolor blenny twice that I saw, but if he did anything it was just one or two grabs. When we had crushed coral, the peppermint shrimp used to sit out front and they'd jump my hand whenever I was reaching in the tank, though they never did it to the fish as far as I know:

The wife and I visited to Seattle aquarium, for anyone who hasn't been there, I strongly suggest you get there. (it whoops Chicago's in the tailfin!) We saw some lawnmower/algae blennies that looked just like our departed one.. it was so sad but we enjoyed seeing them anyway. Pictures to come once I get them from my wife's camera!

I have a bicolor blenny but as soon as he sees me enter the room with the camera he goes back to his hole in the rock.

Thanks, my wife seemed really sad when we saw the LMBs in the Seattle Aquarium... we both still miss him.
I mean to take nothing away from Shedd Aquarium in Chicago... I'm saying the Seattle one is that good! I've never seen an aquarium with a petting zoo before... (I was surprised they stocked it with Spiny Urchins and Cucumbers, too) It was like they took every idea from those "ultimate aquarium" websites and implemented each one! There's a huge glass tube weaving around one room with octopodi in it. Another room has a wave machine in it to simulate a shoreline reef.
Sorry, I promised pics, I'll get on my wife to send me them so we can post them!

I really want a LMB but im not sure if he would survive in my tank. Can anybody tell me if he will live alongside a coral banded shrimp, a peppermint shrimp, 5 hermit crabs, a yellow tail damsel, and a clownfish all in a 4 month old 30 gallon? Lots of rocks for him to hide in, almost 60 pounds of it lol.
