Bicolor Blenny

[fenrir]

Well I finally found another fish to put in my 14g Biocube. I always wanted a bicolor blenny and saw my lfs was having a sale on them for $10 so I couldn't resist. Usually when I added a second fish my false perc would terroize it and eventually kill it. (lost my firefish that way) After chasing the blenny once around the tank my blenny turned around and chased the clown. After that they both are getting along just fine with out any attacks or issues. I will post pics as soon as I can, and he is becoming one of my favorite fish ever. My question is I have been feeding him mysis and pellets and he has been eating them like a pig. However while doing some reading up on them I found that apparently they are herbivores? I have toughs of green algea growing on some of my rocks, will this be ok for him? Or should I supplement with some algea sheets?

My bi colored blenny is one of my fav fish too! I feed him flakes pellets sea weed sheets once a week(well I put it in the tank for all my fish) and shrimp also and he as doing good.

he should eat the algae off your rocks. i think they need vegetation to survive. my understanding is that they eat pellets and meaty foods, but they need nutrients from seaweed, algae, and other vegetation.
get a 2.5 gallon tank with a sheap flourescent light in it and grow "Ulva". its a macroalgae that all herbivores loves. just tke out a pinch when you need to feed him.
