TIA///

I having two now but dunno if it is a pair... Sometimes chase around, sometimes in the same hole... But do they congregate in group in the wild?

I've been looking for a pair forever. Where did you pick them up?

got them together but dont know if they are male/female :strange:

I've tried pairing up tailspots, albeit in smaller tanks, and unless they're a male and female the dominant one usually beats the tar out of the more submissive one. To the best of my knowledge they are not sexually dimorphic, nor are they hermaphrodites, so finding two that play nice in the store would probably be a good idea :) Good call on the tailspots, they're one of my favorite fish :)

I was wondering about a tailspot myself I have 2 neon gobies and a psuedochromis splendens, I wonder if those two could get along..Anyone have experience with these two species together?

I had a Splendid Dottyback and it killed absolutely everything I introduced after it. Mean little fish, and I wouldn't trust it with a newly added blenny.

Josee, where did you pick up the pair? Been looking for a pair.

+1 on finding two that play nice in the store.
It worked for mine, but it did take 2 years to find a store with more than one.

I've been looking at a tailspot blenny but am not sure if one would be safe with my Helfrichi Firefish.

Just my luck. As soon as we started talking about this, DD had a pair of tailspots. Guess who got them :)
