ndrobey Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 I have had the same experience as Jedi with them. They do great and then just disappear to be never seen again. Not sure what happens to them but they are a neat little fish. Did you have a secure cover over the tank? Barnacle Blennies are jumpers. Link to comment
spectra Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 Did you have a secure cover over the tank? Barnacle Blennies are jumpers. Tank is a Nuvo 20 and does have a top. I did search around the tank but did not find anything. Link to comment
smeagol108 Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 I have no cover on mine. They haven't jumped yet. Lol. Turns out the one I brought home I thought was a female actually is a male too. So now I have two males. They aren't fighting unless it's over a piece of food. Otherwise both just chilling move from hole to hole. Flashing their big sails a lot which is cool. Link to comment
charnelhouse Posted November 2, 2015 Author Share Posted November 2, 2015 While I cannot 100% confirm it, I am relatively certain E. myersi will eat hermit crabs. Circumstantial evidence in support of accusation: This is the fish that got removed from the 40 and placed in the 6 because it was getting hammered by the clowns. There was only one hermit in that tank and I have not seen it since this picture. I have also noticed some oddly placed empty shells in the 40 which currently contains another E. myersi. As a side note, I was mixing Tropic Marin Immunovit and Lipovit with this guy's food after getting thrashed by the clowns hoping to help him recover. I am pretty sure it turned him green he was black before the additives. Link to comment
