Info

Rüppell, 1830

This blenny lives on sandy areas and algae meadows in the ocean. He likes a similar habitat in the tank. Will be shy when he is kept together with fishes which are not as quiet as he is.

Jumping guard
A jumping guard prevents (nocturnal) fish from jumping out.
Wrasses, blennies, hawkfishs and gobies jump out of an unprotected tank in fright if their night rest is disturbed, unfortunately these jumpers are found dried up in the morning on carpets, glass edges or later behind the tank.

A small night light also helps, as it provides the fish with a means of orientation in the dark!
