I am a fan of blennies!
I've had a singular specimen and a harem of tentacled blennies (Parablennius tentacularis), a single specimen and a harem of sphinx blennies (Aidablennius sphinx), a harem of incognito blennies (Parablennius incognita) (all 3 species released back into the wild, to the place where i caught them), a tailspot(jumped out even tho i had a cover), another tailspot(was suffering from unknown disease/health condition, sold him to a bigger tank when he got a bit better, because I couldn't watch my baby suffer. Now i have a bicolor, because I'm a bit traumatised of not being able to keep tailspots even tho i fid everything i could. Cute fella, love him. Favourite blennies so far are incognito blennies, healthy tailspots and bicolors. Tentacled are a bit too agressive and big (15 cm/5" is no joke), sphinxes are stupid.
Male tentacled blenny named Devil.

Incognito blennies, probably my most favourite saltwater fish. If caught in Mediterranean they theoretically can even live in normal reef tanks. They are small( 6 cm/2.5"), active, funny. Males have this awesome purply-red/yellowy red/greeny red(depends on the blenny) coloration with spots that GLOW BRIGHT ORANGE, camera mutes the colours unfortunately. Females are not as vivrant but still cool. They are peaceful, they are social, can be kept in harems, if the tank is larger than 20-30 gallon, you can keep multiple harems. The temperature of 24-25 celsius/75-77 is preffered, probably long term colder temperatures for winter simulation will be good(22 degrees will be enough i think). I'm very sad there's no similar reef blennies. They are all vibrant but will eradicate eachother in small tanks.

Now for reef blennies
Tailspot that jumped out, no name unfortunately. He was a beautiful large male, i was so sad when he died... Just... How... Why... For what purpose, to what end...

Second blenny had a name - Microelement. Unfortunately he was really small and malnourished when i bought him, probably had some trauma or parasites, started growing tumours all over him and stopped eating. Then he started eating again but it was too sad for me to watch him like that, so i sold him into a bigger tank.
