New blue spot solandri

Post by russweb »

Hi everyone

I have a 24 gallon nano cube with live rock and soft corals. I have a lawnmover blenny and added this little toby yesterday. He appears to have settled in well and is munching away at live rock, plenty of macro algae. He has cockles for dinner.

This is my first puffer - I previously kept a 200 gallon reef tank for many years which was based around seahorses and gobies.

All advice very welcome

I took some pics, they aren't wonderful quality. If you send me an e-mail address I will send them - not sure how to post on the site

it would be great to see some pics if you could get them up here. Go to the Galleries link at the top of the page and set up your own album, you can then upload your pictures and copy them into the post using the "User Gallery IMG" button

Four pics of less than fantabulous quality posted under my name in the gallery

Very nice! My LFS just got 4 of them in the other day and I thought about one for my GSP tank but when I went to see them, they were nipping everything in their tanks! They were also about 4 inches already and I am looking for something smaller. They were of course all in different tanks. Very beautiful though!

How has your Blue Spotted and the Blenny getting along?
Tomorrow my lawnmower blenny comes in that I ordered from my LFS to go with my Pink Spotted Puffer and Blue Head Wrasse

They are getting along fine although funnily enough the lawnmower is the boss - he gets to the food first, they just swim past each other - not that it happens that often as the lawnmower stays perched in my barnacles most of the time just coming out for turf scrubbing duties...

A friend of mine put one [marine blue spot] in with a mated pair of maroon clowns (60g tank I believe)... It got along fine with the huge female but nipped the male's fins a bit and eventually the male was found dead =\

Beautiful fish tho, both your pics and her fish. And hers has quite the personality. A shame tho bout the clown.
