The Linear Blenny is also known as the Lined Blenny. The lower part is white while the upper portion is black to brown in color. These are smaller than other blennies. Their huge eyes and tiny mouths make these fish have a comical appearance. Linear Blennies are a wonderful choice for any reef aquarium or tranquil fish-only aquarium big or small. Typically found in crevices and rocks at the bottom of the environment the Linear Blenny requires a tank with at least 30 gallons and plenty of live rock for grazing, perching, and eating. They shouldn't be housed with predators who could make them fearful or hide.   Linear Blenny is a perfect fish for the reef aquarium. It is reef safe, however, it can nibble at the polyps and the bases of Acropora sp. along with others SPS corals. If the SPS dominant aquarium isn't well-stocked with mature colonies, these fish can harm Acropora sp. along with Montipora sp. The diet for Linear Blenny must include vegetables, which includes frozen and dried food items that contain blue-green and marine algae. The Linear Blenny also feeds on (and aid in controlling) algae that grow within the tank.   Approximate Size of Purchase Small 3/8" from 1" Medium 1" to 1" to 1-3/4" Large: 1 3/4" and 2-1/2"; Large: 2 1/2" up to 3"

Helpful Questions From Clients
Frequently Asked Questions
Is hiring a professional necessary to set up a saltwater aquarium?

As a general rule, a larger custom aquarium might require installation by a professional. However, a kit from our online fish store is relatively affordable and beginner friendly. That means you should have no problem setting it up yourself.

Which saltwater aquarium fish should you choose when starting out?

Consider a yellow tang fish. This popular saltwater aquarium fish does a great job of coexisting with other types of fish you’ll find in our online fish store.

How does a saltwater aquarium differ from a freshwater one?

Saltwater aquariums require a bit more maintenance and monitoring than freshwater tanks. Different fish require different levels of salinity, pH tolerances, and temperature requirements. They also require specialized pumps, filters, and other equipment that can handle salt. We can guide you through everything you need to know to set up a healthy, thriving reef tank.

Do fish in a saltwater aquarium swim in a school?

That depends on the species. However, if it’s a fish that swims in a school in the wild, they’ll do the same in an aquarium. Some fish that swim in schools include the green and blue chromis, cardinalfish, and dartfish, for example. When ordering from an online fish store, make sure you do your research on how specific fish species behave to ensure they’ll school (or at least coexist) with your current fish.

Is the effort required to maintain a saltwater aquarium worth it?

Yes! Many aquarists dream of owning thriving saltwater aquariums. You have a tiny piece of the ocean in your home, featuring magical and exotic fish that can only survive in saltwater.
