bllenny fish

I was wondering how to care for a blenny ,what do they eat ,and what would be the best enviorment for one? Thanks.

 

Lots of hiding places!!

Food well that depends on the blenny, most will clean your tank of algae but some will only eat meat. they'll all eat Mysis/brine shrimp tho.
Quite easy to care for really

 

+1 to phoenixheights, and also the algae fed to tangs is what many of them will also eat

 

my bicolor eats algae and brine flakes, and anything else he can find...has a huge personality...what kind did you get/or are looking into

 

I would get one if I were you ! I wish I would have gotten mine sooner LOADS of personality , only really needs algae to eat ( I have never seen mine eat anything else and he is big and fat) and never disturbs anyone else plus no one bothers with him . perfect reef tankmate . I have a sailfin algae blenny by the way . 8)

 

I have a Midas Blenny, which looks like a small Mahi Mahi, and he eats EVERYTHING!!! Beautiful fish.

Actually, thats not the way mine looks at all, its more of a orange/yellow with blue eyes. This pic doesnt do it justice. Trying to find a better pic.
Here it is;
Golden Midas Blenny - Ecsenius midas

 

sometimes i give mine a small piece of dried seaweed

 

will yours eat the algae on the wall too?

 

I have a midas blenny that thinks he's the s###, a lawnmower blenny that likes to have "staring contest" w/ my kids and a scooter blenny that minds his own business scouring the rocks looking for pods. The other 2 eat flake, pellet and algae sheets.

Note though, midas blenny is a jumper (twice so far)

 

My algae blenny eats any algae off of rocks, walls ,powerheads and anything it can find.
