Alright last night went looking for peps with no luck lol, but I did catch I believe is a horned blenny, i could be completly wrong tho, It looks just like a lawnmower blenny with horns lol. Im trying to get pics up Im in class right now, anyone have any ideas of what it might be, or know the common blennys in galveston?

I'm not sure of the technical names for these blennies, but they are pretty hardy creatures. I had one that grew from 1.75" to 3.25" in my 20h. I found they aerent much of an algae eater, but they eat pods and are very willing to eat flake or pellet food.

Mine went insane over mysis too, lol.

It sounds like a Molly Blenny.

I just fed my other fish some flake food, the blenny didnt take any yet Ill try tomorrow then prob getting used to the tank, but yea the damsel and blenny arnt fighting at all. Its horn thingys or w/e are really long and pointy, so far hes doing good.

That is cool! Can you put more than 1 blennyr tank in your tank or they territorial?

 

[mr_surfer_Dude]

Usually they fight if the tank isnt big enough, but they will usually ignore most other fish. I have him in a 3.5 gallon with a damsel and they dont fight at all. I know its way to small for him but im getting a bigger tank next semester.

what time of night did you catch the blenny????

No worry, you will catch lot of them when we go collect peps at night.

They are peps killer. They eat peps that is why when u go collect peps to see lots of them.

That one color is ok. I have caught many that had more color then that one but i put them back.

Oh thanks for the info i did not know they are Pep killers... Don't want one of them then i need the peps for the newly outbreak of aiptaisa in my tank and i have only one pep and he is not doing his job very well. Don't know what happened to the other three that was in there..

I caught three of them last year and put them in my 100 gallon. they ate my clam and nip at some of my corals. I have tried to catch them and get them out of my tank, but it is pretty much impossible. My opinion would be to use caution with these guys!!!!

 

[mr_surfer_Dude]

I caught him around midnight.. he was just laying there on the rock.. I think the tied went in too quickly, he never really recovered and I woke up to him dead today (I also head a pep in a 3.5 gallon tank and he didnt even go for it at all)

I had one that would go after all my....less 'agressive' fish. About the only things he left alone were the clarki and my lawnmower blenny.


....think he was one of the few to survive the first storm/hurtricane too.

 

[mwilliams62]

Well I caught two and Mike13oy gave me two more. 1 larger, 1 medium, 1small and 1 xtra small and only the large one and the xtra small one will cone out of hiding...
