I have loved my two Tailspot Blennies so much! They have a ton of personality for being so small and are always interacting with their tankmates. I was heartbroken when I lost my first one to a gap in the lid, but my second one has thrived and it doing excellent! One of my favorite fish for sure.

I love this fish Mine had a super great personality but over time seemed to get territorial and be aggressive towards other fish after some time.
