Keeping Peacock Blenny in an aquarium requires the right conditions.

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.
