Scooter Blennies

[RSM130D]

Will a Ruby red scooter blenny and a regular Red scooter blenny get along in a reef tank.Will they pair up or stay separate?

[Conigs]

Yes they will get along, not sure about pairing up.

Do you dose your aquarium? Or check your alk cal and mag? Its possible the brain was already decaying / dieing and the shrimp noticed and began the scavenging. That's a possibility anyways.

to the OP,

those are both the same fish. check out the compatibility thread sticky, ask there. i don't keep scooters, but they are a type of dragonet, like my mandarin, and i know for my mandy it is best to have a male/female pair, with the male being slightly larger than the female to help avoid aggression. i would suspect it may be a similar story with these guys, but verify, just in case.

also, they are potential jumpers, so a tight fitting lid is a good idea.
