Generally found amid crevices and rocks on the bottom of its environment, the Tail Spot Blenny needs a tank of at least 10 gallons with plenty of live rock for grazing, perching and hiding. They should not be housed with aggressive species that may intimidate these fish into hiding.

The diet of the Tail Spot Blenny should include vegetable matter, including frozen and dried foods containing marine and blue-green algae. It will also feed on (and help control) algae growing in the aquarium.

Approximate Purchase Size: 3/4" to 1-1/2"

I bought a tail spot blenny a few weeks ago and have really enjoyed it as much as any of the other fish in my aquarium. He spends the day either with his head sticking out of my pipe organ coral or hovering above it looking for bits floating by to nip at. When he goes tail first into the coral he looks like a blenny in a flower pot. He has formed a special relationship with the greenback fairy wrasse and also gets along well with the other fish in the aquarium. He stays right out in front and doesn't hide. The only agressive fish I have is a hawkfish and the blenny just dives into the coral if the hawkfish darts by. He eats kelp flakes very well.

I was looking for a small herbivorous blenny for my "Deluxe Nano Cube" tank. This little guy fits in perfectly and helps to keep algae under control. He is very outgoing, and him along with the Yellowhead Jawfish and Hi Fin Goby makes for an entertaining trio.

Oh this guy is so funny. He found a hole in one of my LR that he moved into. Does like to swim around and nip and the live rock and gets along perfect with my 2 clowns. Usually shy for the first week, then will swim around while your watching the tank and even come to the glass to see you!
