Bye Bye Blennys

[ed757]

After losing my red scooter blenny in less than 24 hours and a scooter blenny in less than a week I give up on them things.

I believe scooter blenneys are actually dragonets not blennys, same thing as mandarin gobies. They need a constant supply of pods.

Yea dragonets

How did you lose them?
What happened? Did you get them from the same LFS?

 

[ed757]

Can't figure out what's wrong. Water is good and my lfs is the same.

How old is your tank? How is your pod population? I lost a red scooter blenny from it jumping out but was very hardy before the jump but had a decent pod population and he ate frozen food. Believe my female clown spooked him.

I had them in my newer 29 gallon with newer pod population.

Dragonets are really hard to support in such a small tank. Let alone a new one.

I would say it was a good choice to give up on them actually.

My tank is 50G and over a year old, I'm not sure how big my pod population but every night after light out I've seen them on my clam shells and rocks, my cardinal love to hunt them at night if any wander into open water, also my wrasse belly always look round and full at all time and I see it constant pick something on rock to eat (might be pod?), all that and I'm not even consider to add a dragonet into my tank because it will die of starvation just cause there is no way it would out compete the wrasse for pods.
