Bicolor Blenny

[yannifish]

I'm considering getting a bicolor blenny, now that my LMB died (didn't starve, was eating well, healthy weight, but then suddenly stopped eating and dies two days later. Clownfish uneffected).
So, I'm wondering what special requirements these fish may have. Are they easier to get to eat then LMBs?
Also, would having a goby and pistol shrimp be okay with the blenny?

Bump.

IMO, they're a little easier than LMB's.
Should be fine with a pistol shrimp and goby.

Before you add your next fish, check the fish in the tank for signs of ick. Your story sounds like what happened to me when ick got my tank. The biciolor should be pretty easy to feed. I have one and the only problem was that he was too small and couldnt fit the larger pellets in his mouth. He has grew since then,Make sure you have hiding places though.

The clowns aren't showing any signs of ick. The blenny wasn't either, no spots, breathing was normal. Gills weren't inflamed.
