He was sold to me as a Klausewitz's Blenny, I have him in one of my books as that...I cant really find him on the internet at all.....

Try this link...
Saltwater Aquarium Fish for Marine Aquariums: Linear Blenny

and this scientific name Ecsenius lineatus and see if that's what you've got.

Big al,
yea, that is his scientific name, just nobody else calls it what it was sold to me as and in my book at home...just wierd, I know there are many types of names for fish from area to area.

the link you sent doesnt have any pink color like mine does, all down his dorsal fin, and on edges of tail...and lips too!

BigAl07 · 08-15-2007, 07:20 AM

Maybe yours is just a GIRL

When looking at the various links I found on that scientific name it looks like there is a good deal of visual variation in that particular one.

I love that blenny! any luck getting an ID?

tippMANn98 · 08-15-2007, 08:03 AM

hes a klausewitz's blenny, im gonna go with a color variant of Ecsenius lineatus

ONE BIG PROBLEM I FOUND: HELP!!!!

I found one little aptaisia, WHAT IS THE BEST WAY TO RID OF IT, i know not to mess with it, but i havent had luck in the past, I used Stop aptaisia before by CHem marin, but with no luck....Im gonna hopefully stop today on the way home from work to pick up a peppermint shrimp to start, hopefully it being small enough the shrimp will eat it!...any other ideas that absoultely work would be appreciated!

Cassette87 · 08-15-2007, 08:22 AM

I replied in your other thread, but i would avoid the peppermint shrimp.. and try joes juice!

BigAl07 · 08-15-2007, 08:28 AM

I added 3 peppermint to my 10g tank and literally within a week had NO aptassia but I only had a couple to begin with. Once it's all gone they are great scavengers and I have them in both of my tanks with no ill effects.

Don't think I've ever seen a blenny like that! It kind of looks like a midas blenny with different colors. I likey!

My thoughts exactly Scott, I'm liken that little guy too!

tippMANn98 · 08-15-2007, 08:48 AM

Im glad I have something that everybody likes!!! He is the boss in the tank, with the little neon goby following him around, swims around, pickin at the rocks...

tippMANn98 · 08-16-2007, 06:52 AM

thanks everybody, I stopped at the LFS last night after work and picked up 2 peppermints. The best thing is, i know they are the right kind, because they were in a tank and munching on aptaisia before i bought them!! ALL RIGHT! should be taken care of soon

ALSO..
I accidently ripped my orange and green rics...so I finished cutting it the rest of the way. I WAS SOOOOOO MAD LAST NIGHT....AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH. So far they seem to be ok, they already seem to be "fixing" themselves. Also picked up a small small head of Frogspawn(green & pink) its about 1-1 1/2 in.
i hope it will thrive for me...acclimated very well, opened up in the moonlights just about right away!

Cassette87 · 08-16-2007, 07:21 AM

Awesome! sounds like you had a good time at the LFS

Can't wait to see new pics of the additions! The ric should be fine, did each "slice" get a piece of the mouth in it? it should heal back up in no time; just keep your water parameters stable

tippMANn98 · 08-16-2007, 09:29 AM

no, it ripped the sides of them, one is now by itself, and the other 2 are still connected, the one byitself has a little damage on the side of the shroom, and so does the other half of it....and one is completely fine....so hopefully they will do ok...

tippMANn98 · 08-16-2007, 09:35 AM

when this all happend the 2 parts that were accually ripped had long slimes coming off, they finally retracted/went away, the mouths were never cut, what basically happened is where they were gonna split(on their own) is where it ripped a little, so, its just a little part on each
