Fish Compatability


Yesterday I took my small Bi color blennie from my 5.5 and added him to the 24g Which has a True Perc and a Yellow Watchman Goby who have lived alone in that tank for a year if not 18 months. How long will it take for them to settle in? The YWG and Perc keep going after the blennie How long should it take to make nice?

i'm just shocked you actually took a picture of something other than your daughter.... HAHAHA....KIDDING....

I have a 2month old daughter myself and have taken 500+ digital pics since she was born on Sept 21st. Anyway...I think your daughter is very cute and I always notice new pics of her. future fashion model maybe?

here's a slideshow of me, my wife, my babygirl Selena, and my parents on a picnic at the park 2 weeks ago:

i dont know what to say about your tank "conflict".... I always try and add a fish AT NIGHT with all the lights out so when it comes morning....many times the pre-established fish dont notice a new neighbor.

i'd give it 1 week.....pay close attention to everyones fins and see if any bits happen.

Yeah I added him about 2 hours before lights out but thats when I was able to catch him I've been trying for days.

Update


They seem to be getting along better Every once in a while the goby charges at the blennie (singing opera can you believe it!!!) But for the most part they all seem to be minding their own business

That's good! He may just be telling the blenny to stay off his lawn. Hope they become good neighbors. Maybe get the blenny a small piece of pvc and see if he takes to the apartment I hear they like places like that to call home. Then again so do gobies so it may not help much.

Luckily the Blennie is quite a bit smaller so he has lots of little holes in the live rock he hides in the goby can't fit into.
