Keeping Tail-Spot Blenny (Ecsenius stigmatura) in an Aquarium

The Tail-Spot Blenny, also known as the Signal Blenny, is a popular choice for aquarium enthusiasts due to its unique appearance and playful personality. Here are some things to keep in mind if you want to keep this fish in your aquarium:

Tank Size and Environment

The Tail-Spot Blenny is a small fish, growing up to 2.5 inches in length, so a tank size of at least 20 gallons is recommended. They prefer a well-established tank with plenty of hiding places, such as rocks and corals. They also like to have a sand substrate to burrow in.

Water Conditions

The Tail-Spot Blenny prefers a temperature range of 72-78°F and a pH range of 8.1-8.4. They are not picky eaters and will eat a variety of foods, including pellets, flakes, and frozen foods. However, they do need to be fed multiple times a day as they have a high metabolism.

Behavior and Compatibility

The Tail-Spot Blenny is a peaceful fish that does well in a community tank with other non-aggressive fish. They are known for their playful behavior and will often perch on rocks and corals, darting in and out of hiding places. They may also nip at small invertebrates, so caution should be taken if keeping them with shrimp or crabs.

Coolest Stuff About the Tail-Spot Blenny

• The Tail-Spot Blenny gets its name from the black spot located at the base of its tail.
• They are known for their jumping ability, so a tightly fitting lid is necessary to prevent them from escaping the tank.
• They have a unique coloration, with a bright orange body and blue accents on their fins and face.
• The Tail-Spot Blenny is a great addition to a reef tank as they will not harm corals or other invertebrates.
