Jeez Sam, I can't believe it came out of the barnacle long enough to be photographed! How are they doing?

I bought some for my office nano and my main tank. They are fun to watch. They all started eating flake food within minutes of putting them in the tanks.

however, my main tank is uncovered and I found one this morning on the carpet dried up. So they are jumpers.

Christy, I didn't have the barnacle glued to anything yet so the barnacle keeps getting moved around or knocked over. This blenny didn't have a suitable barnacle. Maybe that's why it commited suicide?

They're amazingly fast and agile. You get to see that during feeding time. They dart out of their barnacle to the surface to get food and then dart back in within milliseconds. You blink and you'll miss it.

How would these guys fare in a tank with a bicolour blenny? Are they different enough that they would not fight?
