Something Fishy
Member
I have a slightly problematic fish in my reef tank, which was sold to me as an Indian Blenny. I've never seen another one, & can't find anything under that name on the internet. Is this a recognised fish, or a case of mis-identification? I've had him for at least a year, & at first he was completely docile, but as he has grown considerably (now the size & thickness of a finger) & has become more aggressive that I imagined a blenny would be... he nips at the other fish, sometimes diving upwards to attempt to bite them from the ground. He has also terrorised 3 bi-colour blennies to death, I love those but I won't be getting another until the Indian has gone,
Description : about 5 or 6 cm's long, something like the size of a finger, & fat too, not as thin as most blennies. Light brown in colour with darker stripes on his back. Extremely round face, with red-rimmed eyes. Rounded mouth which he aggressively attacks the sides of the tank with where there is algae, & has recently started doing the same with large fish (like tangs).
Basically I'd just like to know what he is, & if he's a particularly problematic or aggressive fish in other people's experience.
Thanks
