Intended fish purchase

TuckerB · 06/30/2015, 10:19 AM

I have two clown fish, one skunk shrimp, one fire shrimp, circus goby and want to ad a Caribbean sailfin blenny. I read they were peaceful then saw a blog saying they are aggressive. Will they be all right together. Thank you.

What size tank? This will help the others a bit more. The more information about your setup the better.

29 gallon bio cube. Set up for five months. I have a sterilizer and skimmer. Sandbed and live rock.

I have 2 of these. Mine lives in an old snail she'll and really funny to watch. From my experience I would say not aggressive , but hold their own if they need to.

The Blenny will be fine with the Clown and shouldn't bother the shrimp. You can always look up a saltwater fish compatability chart if you are concerned. Just be careful of adding any future fish, be sure they will be compatible with the Blenny.

Thank you. This is the best sight ever for advice and help. The sailfin blenny will be a new add and will be in quarantine tank.

Just be careful as they can jump out of the tank!

I have the Caribbean sailfin blenny in quarantine. I thought he was a herbivore so I have been putting seaweed on a clip. He is snarfing up the frozen shrimp that I am feeding the circus goby. He also changes color depending on what he is around. Do they normally eat shrimp and change color.
