Starry Blenny or Sailfin Blenny any suggestions?

[Bianca]

Hello
I currently have a 55 gallon reef tank and want to set up a second marine tank which is a 65 gallon hexagon tank .

This isnt going to be a reef tank just 50lbs cheap live rock and few small active fish (feather dusters also).

I was planning on either a Starry Blenny or Sailfin Blenny any suggestions?

I like the look of both but dont know much on either except they nibble on algae and hate other blennies .

Anyone keep or have kept either ?

Thank you

Bianca

we have them all the time at my work i get better feed back on the starrys but i like them both. they are about the same just the starry gets a bit bigger(bout and inch more) and they both will keep ur tank clean of algae and will probably need algae supplementation.

Okay great thanks for the advice going to order the starry. They dont carry them all the time (infact hardly ever) but can order them.

So going to order that one. I am infact cycling the hexagon now with live rock and some sand .

I like blennies but know they hate each other so 1 blenny will be the max and a cardinal, hawkfish, and thinking of a pair of tank raised red clowns .

thanks

Bianca

I had a little black Sailfin Blenny, that was aprox. 1" - 1.5" and he was the coolest, most personable fish I've ever had...mean little bugger, too.

I once turned off a powerhead for maintenance and it's a good thing I looked at it before turning it back on...in the 10 minutes it was off, he'd taken up residence in the return nozzle and would violently attack anything that came near it.

I never did get to turn that powerhead back on.
