Description

Please note that the product information displayed is provided by manufacturers, suppliers and other third parties and is not independently verified by Petco.

The Orange Spotted Blenny will be a great cleanup crew member and awesome while doing it. They can be seen perching on/in live rock and hopping across the substrate, while also grazing on algae. Even though this blenny can grow to be about 5" within an aquarium, they will remain peaceful and active, which makes them the ideal candidate. It is recommended that only one blenny be kept in an aquarium unless it is a mated pair. Add this fish to a reef tank with caution because they have been known to nip on small-polyped stony coral and clam mantles. Even though these guys will eat algae found throughout the live rock, the blenny should also be offered a diet of vegetable matter especially spirulina and other herbivore preparations. The Orange Spotted Blenny is white with orange spots and red markings. They are found in the Indo-Pacific inhabiting clear reef flats and seaward reefs up to 6 meters deep.

- Reef safe with caution: may nip on SPS corals and clam mantels
- Great for the beginner hobbyist
- One per aquarium
- Minimum tank size: 30 gallons

ACCLIMATION: Avoid exposing new aquatic life to bright lights after opening the box. Turn off aquarium lights prior to floating aquatic life. Allow the sealed bag with your new fish to float in your aquarium for at least 15 minutes (but no longer than one hour) to ensure the water in the bag matches the temperature in your aquarium. A bacteria booster addition can assist with the addition of new aquatic life. Petco offers free water testing in store to determine if your water is safe for the addition of new aquatic life. DIET: A well-balanced diet consists of a variety of flakes, pellets, freeze-dried and frozen foods, depending on the species. FEEDING: Feed sparingly and no more than fish can eat in 1-2 minutes. Overfeeding can quickly foul the water, especially in smaller aquariums.
