Horseface/ Red Lipped Blenny

  • Ophioblennius Blennies should be added to well established aquariums with plenty of swim room. Rock work should be provided for perching and grazing.

  • Ophioblennius Blennies can be very aggressive and territorial towards smaller and less aggressive tank mates.

  • Provide a diet rich in algae based foods, if sufficient algae is not present supplementing is necessary. Ophioblennius Blennies may consume various microalgaes.

  • May pick at small benthic invertebrates.

  • Most Blennies lack or have very small swim bladders.

  • Be sure to provide an aquarium with a tight fitting lid as Blennies may jump.

  • Atlantic Redlip Blenny can grow to 7".

 

We recommend a minimum aquarium size of 70 gallons or larger for this species.
