Adopted a canary blenny today. Yep, the ones with fangs. It bit a hole in the bag and caused it to leak. Pretty fish though. Ill post pics soon. Any experience with these welcome. Dont wanna get bit!

 

[paul87]

Heres a pic. Still acclimating.

 

[apet66]

That is a cool fish. No experience with them though.

In the tank. My sunrise dottyback isnt too happy. He keeps nipping at him. I read their bite is like a bee sting. Im waiting for him to bite back. Really hope they get along.

Sleeping. Had a big day. Learned what a powerhead was. He went into it while it was off and shot out when it cut on. He came out uninjured. I was surprised i couldnt cut the power off soon enough to that powerhead.

Picked up a super awesome acan frag today. Its bright red with green tentacles. They had it labeled as a sunburst. Picture does no justice...i love it!

 

[apet66]

That Acan is spectacular!

 

[Cichlid-dude]

Beautiful acan!

Love the acan! The canary blenny is a nice "vampire" addition.

 

[paul87]

Thanks. Now i just gotta figure out if the canary blenny is gonna make it with my super dominant sunrise dottyback.

Waiting for hydor to send me replacement covers for both of my powerheads. They run in reverse except for 1. Currently battling a cyano outbreak too.

 

[Cichlid-dude]

Mine run in reverse sometime, just have to unplug them and keep plugin back in until it is corrected.

Yea but thats not the solution. I have the hydor koralias and it messes it up when the front cover is broke because it has a small round rubber bushing that helps more than you would think. Plus hydor will send you FREE replacement covers and shafts!

My canary blenny has become alot less shy. My dottyback still comes at him from time to time but not as bad. Heres some pics of him.

So i was gone on work for 2 weeks and my gf never topped off the water. I was also running air pump because i was doseing red slime remover trying to get rid of this cyano outbreak. That made the wster evaporate more. Well i came home to a very high salinity tank with my bta dead!!! I imediatly got the ball of slime out that was my nem and did a huge water change. All seems ok so far. I was real worried. Also i finally caught my dottyback today! Finally got that terrorist out of there. My poor canary blenny is all nipped up. I traded the dottyback for alot more peaceful fire fish. Ill post pics later
