    I came home last night to a sad sight. My beloved Starry blenny Gus was all shriveled up on the floor. He looks like he had been dead for awhile. I was unaware of this blenny type as a jumper. :-/

    Some pics of happier times.

    Yes I would recomend them . Beautiful fish with loads of personality. Only problem I had with him is he would steal my corals food if I didn't feed him first . Other than that loved the little guy. :-/
