Sorry to hear about your Blenn Laurie.

You have some great looking tanks! Love the mushrooms and the new fish you purchased. I don't think I have seen a chocolate mimic tang before...wow nice fish.

Thanks, ya it's not to often you see adult chocolate mimic tangs, juvi colours are more yellow. I always think of them as chocolate mimic tangs but they are also called Mimic Lemon Peel Tang (Acanthurus pyroferus).



I was talking to Doug and the only thing we could think of was that maybe the blenny somehow got stung by the fu man chu and that's what could of killed it. However I didn't see any marks on it's body and I would of thought a lionfish sting would leave a mark of some sort or some swelling or something

Damn. Sad to hear this.

Thanks Lance, wish I knew what happened to him, really sucked finding my blenny dead all of a sudden.

Sorry to hear it. Blennies sure seem to be sometimes very iffy that way. I lost my ember blenny about 2 months ago (just before everyone got moved over into the new tank) in much the same way: everything fine, then one day at feeding he wasn't there. Found him floating near the back of the tank. Had had him for well over a year.

Couple other blennies I've tried have never made it past the first week (both ember blennies in those two cases). Just poof, one day, they're done, that's it.

Weird and disheartening...

Strange how that is I was thinking I might get an ember blenny in the future, but now I'm leaning more towards a starry blenny. Might just do a good old bi-colour blenny, I had one yrs ago and he was the most personable blenny I ever had.

Duncans look great! I'm really convinced I moved mien up too high I think they are getting too much light.

I recently couldn't find my bi-color and he'd been totally fine previously. Firecracker of personality I really miss him.
