Blenny problems

[Sonam]

Hi All,

We have three blennies in a 125 gallon system. This occurred as the result of a sudden (spontaneous) crack in the glass of our 32 gallon nano system where our bicolored blenny lived.

We had to transfer him into our 125 gallon system in an emergency as his residence literally drained through the crack. Fortunately we were there to transfer livestock.

He joined our Midas Blenny and black sailfin Blenny who had been, and still do, leave each other alone.

Initially the Midas Blenny harassed the bicolored new comer but despite being the smallest of the three, the bicolored blenny appears to have not only subdued the Midas Blenny but is actively harassing the sailfin Blenny.

The sailfin is super peaceful and were worried he may not get enough to eat under these circumstances. He normally cruises around pecking at the rocks.

They are all healthy and steathful. Can't get them.

Any ideas on how to resovle this?

We've replaced the damaged tank (LFS replaced it for free due to fault) and could put the bicolored Blenny back in there but we can't catch him.

What to do?

Bicolor blennies love to find a small hole that they can fit their body in where they can keep a lookout. I have found coco worm tubes to be irresistible for them. If you can get an empty shell from an LFS he will go in there and you can pull the shell out.

If you can't get a coco worm shell, a rock with good nooks and crannies that you can readily remove will serve the same purpose.
