idog Posted July 24, 2006 Share Posted July 24, 2006 I got a Bicolor blenny to try and help with some patches of hair algae that I constantly have to groom... but he won't touch the stuff. Only eats meaty foods that I feed to my other fish. Anyways, he is such an awesome little fish that I want to keep him, but I still want to get rid of the algae. If I were to get an algae bleanny (lawnmower), would these two fight? I hear bicolors can be territorial with other similar species. Has anyone tried a tank with both? Link to comment
Izzue Posted July 24, 2006 Share Posted July 24, 2006 feed less often...he will get hungry Izzue Link to comment
shrinky Posted July 24, 2006 Share Posted July 24, 2006 I have two... but I certainly cannot speak for everyone. At first, the lawnmower HATED the bicolor - he kept ramming him every so often when the bicolor would get too close. I was pretty scared and was ready to remove one of them... but noticed there was no damage to the bicolor, and he practically seemed oblivious to the attacks... and after a few weeks, they started ignoring each other all together. The bicolor has a little attitude about him, but there is not a significant problem between the two. Link to comment
idog Posted July 24, 2006 Author Share Posted July 24, 2006 Thanks for the replies... My bicolor doesn't eat the hair algae, but he sleeps in the middle of one patch in particular. I wonder if he would take kindly to somebody eating his little bed-patch? Link to comment
