Bicolor Blenny
Ecsenius bicolor
Origin: Indo-Pacific
Reef Safe: Yes. Jumper: Common jumperMax Size: 4
Reccomended Tank Size: 30 gallons.
Temperature range: 78F-84F
Description:
The Bicolor Blenny has an elongated body with the anterior colored in dark purple and the posterior in yellow to orange. They have long straight cirri. These little fish have tons of personality and love to find a favorite spot in the aquarium to call home. They will often use rock crevices, caves, and empty barnacles to hide their body and allow their head to poke out to keep an eye on what's going on. They love to graze on algae throughout the aquarium and will often experience "pale patches" on their face and body when lights are first turned on. The Bicolor Blenny should not be mixed with other Blennies in small tanks. They are great for reef tanks and will accept most fish foods.
Temperament:
The Bicolor Blenny likes plenty of rocks to perch upon and hide behind. Whether or not this Blenny is a good tank mate depends on who you talk to. Some people think that it gets along with everything in a tank, others think it doesn't. Keeping this fish well fed should eliminate the need for it to consume invertebrates.""""
