    The Wolf of Water Street

    Let's all take a vote on what fish is the most commonly misidentified and/or misnamed fish in aquarium keeping. While you mull over your answer, the correct one is Congrogadus subducens. Looks like an Eel, acts like a Blenny, and it gets called either and sometimes both and at least one common...

    Blenny ID

    This little blenny arrived with a Live rock shipment, as a freebie only a couple days ago. A suprise from the nice ladies at Tampa Bay Saltwater. I need an exact ID please. He is 1" in length, and quite elusive. This is the best picture I could get so far. Thanks for taking the time to ID

    HELP! I don’t think my Blenny is eating.

    So picked up a lawnmower Blenny as my first first in my newly cycled tank. I have attempted to feed him both frozen brine shrimp and Nori but I can’t seem to catch him eating either. I have my nori clipped maybe a little to high but I didn’t think it was an issue. Is there any other food people...

    Blenny doesn’t seem to be eating! Help!

    As the first fish in my tank I was steered towards getting a lawnmower blenny. I’ve seen online that some people feed them frozen brine shrimp although i understand that they are herbivores. I kept this in mind when buying. Picked him up and the guy at the store told me that they feed him...

    Had somebody kept segmented blennies(salarias segmentatus)

    I saw that fish online, and it sometimes appears at LFS'. From what i know it's just more colorful relative of a lawnmower (salarias fasciatus), that is smaller. If so, it must appear in the tanks more often, but i see only a few threads(two of which are mine) on english, german and polish...

    Blenny Identification

    Hello, an online retailer sold the blenny below as a bicolor blenny. I'm very attached to this little guy, he has a great personality but he doesn't match any pictures of a bicolor blenny. Any idea what species this guy is? Thanks for any information! fish

    Blenny With Massive Belly - Help?

    Hi all, I have a bi-color blenny who has been in my tank about 1.5 years and has always done well. He eats well--film algae off glass, nori sheets, and some frozen mysis. This morning, I woke up and saw him with this massive belly, and some pressure that seems to be pushing his bladder or...

    Lawnmower Blenny aggressive towards Goby

    Help! My daughter purchased a Lawnmower Blenny for my birthday to replace my previous one that went missing and never reappeared. Since being introduced, he’s been very territorial towards my existing goby. Will this behavior continue or can it be reasonably expected to go away? My display is 75...

    Hi, I have a Fluval Evo 5. The tank has been running for about 6-7 months now, absolutely no issues until now.

    Bicolor Blenny picking on Duncan

    Caught my Blenny red handed picking at my Duncan, so I guess that means I have to get rid of this guy, very disheartening as I’ve grown to love him. What other fish would you guys recommend to replace him? I have a 30 gallon with a clown, firefish, and a bg chromis.

    Discussion: What has your experience been with Blennies?

    After cruising the internet looking for solutions to hair algae, I came across the seemingly magic solution known as blennies, and then realized there's dozens of varieties that all seem to be their own fish. As with everything in the hobby, there's no perfect fish, so I imagine there's pros and...

    Midas blenny weird skin discolor

    Unsure what to call this or how to describe it other than it looks like the skin is shedding. Literally no other weird behavior and is eating well. It’s had it for a few months now and nothing has happened. It doesn’t change at all, stays looking like the photos. thoughts?

    Fangblenny Injury

    Hello all! So I have a striped fangblenny, and he’s always done great. However he often gets injuries on his face, and I’m not sure what it could possibly be. I believed maybe he was flashing due to flukes, and I did two rounds of prazi. The injuries are still appearing though. They’re always...

    Midas Blenny and Goby comparability? 31G

    I’ve read in the past that blenny and goby shouldn’t be together, however recently I have read that as they occupy different space they get along fine? Any experiences/suggestions? I have plenty of live rock, caves, holes, ledges and areas that break apart the whole tank. If this could work...
