bosco Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 Very nice new Tailspot's. They really love holes to back into. Can you suggest something to add to the tank for them to hang out in? Mine dances between rocks and keeps trying to find somewhere to hide but none of the spots in the tank are up to his standards I was looking at getting a small barnacle cluster like this: http://store.seacorals.net/3naaqbacl.html but I wasn't sure if that would even look good in my tank Quote Link to comment

crazy tarzan Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 Here are some pics of my tail spot blenny--he's good at eating algae off the glass and rocks, and also loves formula II flakes. He has a favorite hole at the top of the rocks and has made friends with the clown fish. So far he's staying fat and healthy, and poops green all the time. Quote Link to comment

liverpoolfcfan Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 my tail spot, wondering what my gramma is doing. Quote Link to comment
smilodon Posted August 29, 2009 Share Posted August 29, 2009 I got tail spot last week, now it's so active in the tank, like hanging out with my clown. and it almost eats everything I put in the tank, but I found he love the fomula II flake the most. it's really funny fish, it likes to chase its own tail a lot, just like a dog does.

d'Espresso Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 Can tailspot get along with another different kind of blenny in the 34 gallon or bigger tank with lots of rock holes? i am not to sure if i should add him in with my other black blenny. Also do they like to surf the surfaces? should i put a net over the tank because my tank is rimless.. thanks Quote Link to comment

I'd have a cover because Blennies are jumpers, I've seen mine get startled and try to get out before. I would not get him, he'll probably never come out and starve but thats my opinion.

jm82792 Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 I have 3 blennies in one tank without issue for months, Need to get them really really young, I add them together when they are a half inch or so in size. One time I had 5 of them, keeping in mind they were all a half inch and I let all but 2 go. Quote Link to comment
dylanserbin Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 would a TS blenny, a pearly jawfish and a juvinile yellow tail dwarf angel get along in a 34g cadlight tank? Quote Link to comment

megability Posted December 28, 2009 Share Posted December 28, 2009 I just got a Tailspot Blenny today... Thanks for all the info on this post, I hope it leads to a long life for the little dude... He was already venturing out of his hole in a few hours, taking bites at the glass, and seems to have dropped the white-spots cammo/stress coloration already... My Tomato Clown and Six-Line Wrasse have so far totally left him alone, but interestingly the recently added Half-Barred Goby, which spends his whole life upside down hiding in the rockwork, has charged the TSB a few times and chased it around a little - hope they can learn to live with each other Quote Link to comment
megability Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 Here he is... Quote Link to comment
disaster999 Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 im really glad that hes helping me irradiate the algae growing in my tank...but daaammmnnnn he gotta stop eating so much Quote Link to comment
JJW Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 Is tailspot belnny a jumper? - My tank is open top, don't want this fish concrete surfing. Quote Link to comment
spencers Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 (edited) Here's mine. Went in my tank on Thursday. So cute! Attempting a feeding Saturday, after I pick up food. His poo is nice and green, which probably means he's getting after some algae. Edited January 30, 2010 by spencers Quote Link to comment

sandiegan Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 So, has anyone on this thread kept a TSB alive for 1+ yrs? I'm looking for a long term fish, where 5 months isn't considered a success. Quote Link to comment

In July mine is 2yrs. For a long term Blenny there are easier ones. Information on Tailspots is lacking and often not always accurate. They are excellent, fun to watch fish, I love mine.
