Thank you blindside.:D

Do you want to see pictures of him/her when he gets here? Hopefully it will sit still enough for me to take a good picture. My cruddy camera some times takes good pictures, it just has to be in a good mood I guess..lol ..I want a new camera, maybe hubby will get me one for my next birthday in september.

go for it biocube, I am pretty sure you won't be sorry.
I have ordered fish, corals and mobile inverts from bluezoo. Everything I have recieved from them is always super healthy. I have had orders from other places that gave me fish that were laying on their sides, beathing heavily, skinny and looking stressed. When I got my first fish from bluezoo they were swimming around in their bags, breathing normally and were curious as to what I was doing. After acclimating them to the tank, I put them in and gave them some bluezoomix food. They gobbled the food up and went around the tank checking out their new home. It was like the shipping didn't even faze them..cool huh?

few pictures, the blenny is kinda light colored right now but I'm sure its colors will become more brighter when he/she is all settled in.

The little blenny has been swimming all over the tank all day. Checking out its new place, munching on some algae here and there. It has already found its favorite place in the tank..every time I walk up to the tank it goes right to the spot you see it in the picture. When I look at him, he charges the front of the tank like he is saying..."it's mine, it's mine, it's all mine!!"

I hope you don't have to wait as long as I did for one of these blennies.They are rarely available in the trade. I offered the blenny some emerald entree and it seemed to like that.

Sorry about the delay, it mimics the venemous blackline fang blenny.

I love this blenny, he is not only beautiful, it is also soo cute. This blenny isn't shy at all. He won't hide when you walk up to the tank, which is fantastic for taking pictures(if I had a good camera) I haven't tried taking pictures of him with my sealife underwater camera. hmm I may try that.

You've got to love Blennies! They have such personalities. That is a nice looking fish too! Makes me wish I was in need of another finned friend for my tank.
