Aquarium Information
- Care level: intermediate
- Temperament: territorial
- Diet: omnivore
- Minimum tank size: 30 gallons
- Compatibility: Can be kept with other non-aggressive, similarly sized fish. Avoid keeping with other blennies unless the tank is very large and offers ample hiding spots, as they can be territorial towards conspecifics and similar-looking species. Not suitable for reef tanks with delicate corals or small invertebrates they might nip at.
- Special requirements: Requires a well-established marine aquarium with plenty of live rock for hiding and perching. A sandy substrate is also beneficial. Good water quality and stable parameters are crucial. Provide a varied diet including high-quality flake food, pellets, frozen mysis shrimp, brine shrimp, and vegetable matter.
