Salt Water Aquarium Information
Advertisement

Blennies like to perch in the rocks and will enjoy an aquarium with plenty of rockwork or live rock. They like to swim from 'hiding place' to hiding place in search of their natural food which consists of both algae and small fishes. Some blennies have been known to be somewhat territorial, so care should be taken if you put them in with fish less than twice their size.
