What do you think caused the loss? I also really like your bicolor blenny! any recommendations you have would be great! Thanks
Thanks for the compliment!~
Regarding the scooter blenny, I got him last March, so I had him for almost a year. He had been fine and had learned to eat frozen foods shortly after being introduced in my tank, which I was delighted about because I was afraid that he would only want to eat pods and I wouldn't have enough to keep him alive and he would starve to death. He was the cutest, sweetest little thing because I would feed him by syringe and when he would see the syringe coming into the water, he would literally sit up like a little puppy dog and suckle the food right out of the tip even though I would squirt the food into the sandbed in front of him. I really don't know what happened to him because his little belly never looked sunk in, so I would hope that he didn't starve.
He was a tiny little thing, so when he died, it surely couldn't have been very long before my CUC got a hold of him.
I do miss the little boy like crazy though.
I don't think I could ever try another one though and risk the chance of it not accepting frozen foods and it starving.
As for recommendations for you? Definately get a bicolor blenny! They really add a lot of personality to a tank! Fairy wrasses are nice and there are sooo many different kinds that will add a lot of color to your tank. Of course there are the clowns too.
Speaking of which, I have to find a good home for my baby misbar percs because I am finally going to be getting a pair of Picasso clowns in a month!
