    That's hilarious! Too true.

    Maybe now that I'm replacing 3, adding 2 won't be an issue. No decisions yet though.

    Good blenny suggestion Six. That midas is neat looking.

    +1 to the midas blenny. They are neat. True omnivores as well that take all kinds of prepared, so you dont have the strict dietary requirements of a lot of the other blenny's.
    I don't know if its true for a lot of them, but the starry blenny I just placed in a home was really cool and was taking prepared (algae sheets) as well. Looked quite a bit like a lawnmower so it could be rare for it to take prepared, but might be worth doing some research on as well.

    You have to understand though J, that fish had probably been in the store for a while eating whatever they threw at it. It had allready adapted to life in captivity and was content. The one's you see in the store's with sunken bellies have probably not been there long enough or are just not adapting to life in captivity. Your fish was probably old as hell!

    I second the midas blenny, very attractive fish with excellent personalities! Have you thought about any type of nano gobies? The neon one's are really cool and you can usually put a couple together. That and they will surve a vital purpose in your ecosystem, mine used to clean my damsel dailey untill I got rid of him :)
