Two Spot Blenny Fish

The Two Spot Blenny, *Ecsenius bimaculatus*, is a charming and active addition to the home aquarium. This small blenny is typically a mottled brown or tan color, often with subtle darker markings, and is distinguished by two prominent dark spots, one located behind the eye and another further back on the body. Its expressive face and perching behavior on rocks and substrate make it a captivating subject for observation.

A minimum of a 10-gallon tank is suitable for a single Two Spot Blenny, with plenty of live rock providing hiding places and surfaces for grazing. These blennies are generally peaceful and can be kept in a community tank with other docile fish. They are considered reef safe and will not typically bother corals or invertebrates.

In the aquarium, the Two Spot Blenny will grow to a maximum size of approximately 2.5 inches. It is an omnivore, primarily feeding on algae and small invertebrates found on live rock. Its diet should be supplemented with a variety of foods including high-quality marine flake and pellet foods, as well as frozen mysis shrimp and brine shrimp. Providing a varied diet will help ensure its health and vibrant coloration.
