SkyFire's 46 Bow Front - Update 1-1-16

Seeing Stars

I got a Starry Blenny today he's cool, though I think he stole Spot's sleeping space.

No name for it yet...but am thinking maybe Benny.

 

Congrats great add

 

Congrats.

I have never had one, but they look so cool. I have watched them hunt in other tanks and they seem like they have a ton of personality.

 

Thanks

The color changes are cool.
So far he's just been chilling.....he found his own spot to sleep in but takes over the overhang where Spot sleeps when he vacates it. I hope he gets less shy and swims around a bit more....and decides that the gha is tasty there is a smallish patch that I want gone.

 

told you starry blennys were cool lol

 

Yeah I was leaning toward it because I liked the looks and such....so I got it for this tank and the lawnmower blenny for the nano. they are both cool and work (size wise) for their respective tanks, in that the lawnmower is only 2.75- 3" right now and the starry is 4" and maybe plus a little more.

 

yeah very true and they both can change colors a lot too

 

They sure do.
Glad I got them...just hope it's not too much on the bioload....I know I'm pushing it a bit but so few of my fish actually swim around much....not that the blenny is either. :-/ but he's cool looking.

 

I re-did the scape a bit to give the pistol shrimp hiding places so can roam a bit mor from home to find food. I don't have that much to work with but hope to get more rock in there soon, it will be baserock, most likely from reefcleaners.



Note that the fuge is finally clear ( I got the UV hooked up to it...now just gotta connect it to the DT) the mandarines will love the influx of pods...there are tons in the fuge.

 

you have a mandarin? very nice; i didnt know that. is it a regular green one, red one, or a spotted one?
