Bicolor blenny colors

[jerthunter]

Ok, I am wanting to get a bicolor blenny, the picture on this site shows a bright yellow tail. I looked on another site and saw one with a red colored tail.. Then I did some research and found a place that said there are only 3 color patters, the yellow tail, all brown, and black/white striped. Anyways, just curious about what colors are most common and if there are any other colors that people know of.. If you have an interesting colored one a picture would be appreciated greatly.. Thanks everyone

Wow, mine gets two white spots on both sides of his mouth when he is stressed too. My LFS tld me that his tail wuld get orange even red as he gets bigger and older. Right now he is about 1/2 inch with a yellow tail. Just liked pictured above

Nice looking fish TeresaQ! I did some more searching around and heard that although the tail starts out yellow they turn reddish over time.. Anyone have any pictures of a bi-color with a red tail?

I've had it for about 6 mo, its tail is a bright orange now.

Mine is a dark purple almost black, with an orange tail. Pretty close to the picture above. I was not aware of this coloration until it popped out of some liverock i purchased. By far the best hitchhiker i have got so far

I would think my bicolor is more a deep almost black chocolate or maybe its just a deep purple almost black with a bright orange tail, and a voracious appetite. I have yet top see something float by him/her that it did not retreive and eat. Never have seen it grab somehting and spit it out as other fish do. What goes in this blennys mouth stays in his mouth..........and talk about a personality. He exudes in personality. If I set on the left side of the tank he sets on the left and looks out that side, if i set in the front he sets there, and same for the right side. Always likes to have a perch on the high ground and nothing gets past him......Oh yea, mine also ha a few small dots on each side of its mouth as well.......SOmetimes they look white other times greenish. I only see those spots when I shine a light on him at night when looking for miscellaneous critters with a flash light. Those jokers can back up better than most folks can drive forward. its amazing how they can come up to a hole and scoot in backwards and not even seem to slow down or hit the sides.
