FishKid · 08-03-2001, 10:22 AM

good ol' premiumaquatics.com you have to do an external order, or email them with an order for that one.

If those aren't the cutest things! My husband just put the picture on the 'puter for wallpaper. (Since i'm way overstocked and can't get any more fish.)

Skipper,
How small are those guys? Are they aggressive/docile, are they good eaters? Tell us about your experince with them.
Thanks
Jake

Those cool little blennies belong to Ramon aka MrSandman. Here is his site: http://members.home.com/mrsandman2k/index.htm
I will do my best to direct him to this thread so he can respond to your questions or you can e-mail him about them.

Hey guys! Well, Skipper alerted me of this thread and i thought i'd add some info. I bought mine from Jeff's Exotic Fish for one heck of a deal. I think he normally sells them for 15 bucks each and an extra 5 for the barnacle. These guys are quite aggressive believe it or not, especially against their own kind. What i would recommend is that you get a bigger barnacle with more cubby holes for them to live in especially if you have more than 2. Mine were a bit frisky and were playing musical holes for a while. I got a bigger barnacle and they are much happier. They are very aggressive eaters and will eat with the big boys with no fear. They are very entertaining and cute little critters to watch. They pretty much stay confined to their one hole and almost never leave unless they are eating. They will bite too if you put your fingers too close. It happened to me when i was moving their barnacle and put my finger next to their hole and accidentally plugged it up w/ my thumb. They are a great addition and eat anything from flakes to krill to squid to anything that floats past them. HTH!
