msscha Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 I am considering adding a seaweed blenny to my 14 gallon tank. Currently, I have a pair of sexies, 1 trimma, and 1 ocellaris -- corals are all softies or lps. I am not concerned about the coral but am curious about the hh-life, especially the feather dusters. Should the blenny choose to eat worms, it can have all the bristle worms it likes, but I wouldn't like to sacrifice my feathers. Does anyone have any experience keeping these? Link to comment
msscha Posted October 2, 2012 Author Share Posted October 2, 2012 Latin name? Parablennius marmoreus, Wikipedia entry or Florida Museum of Natural History entry . The various descriptions all include "polychaetes" as a food source, but don't really specify which worms are food or if the diet changes as the blenny matures. The lfs has really neat ones between 1-1.5" and the adult size is around 3.5" (claims on the web vary from 3.5 - 4.7). My assumption would be the larger the blenny, the larger the potential prey. However, if I am feeding a steady omnivorous diet that will include both meat/algae, then perhaps -- like sexy shrimp -- it wouldn't find the rest of the tank a food source. That is why I am wondering if anyone has experience with the fish! Link to comment
