Royal gramma vs bicolor blenny

Coralgurl · #1 12-11-2011, 03:21 AM

Just added a royal gramma and it's fighting with my bicolor blenny. They are about the same size and both are showing aggression towards the other. Will this settle down?

I hope so, not fun to watch!! The blenny just tossed the gramma in the frogspawn, now he's swimming sideways near the back of the tank.

He disappeared as soon as he went in the tank, checked an hour later and they are fighting. My blenny thinks he's a clown...and the clowns are getting involved too. The blenny is instigating the fighting now. Worse than kids....

Grammas are generally passive.

Adding him near the end is a possible disaster in the making.

Good luck.

Thanks Paddyob, I will watch for this. My fish list is 2 sebae clowns, 1 bicolor blenny, 1 bangaii cardinal, the solar fairy wrasse and royal gramma added yesterday. I was told the wrasse should have been added first, then the gramma as one of the last fish. I honestly thought the order of adding them was good. I will not likely be adding anymore fish now.
