The ORA® Captive-Bred Smith's Blenny is also known as White's Blenny, White Blenny, Smith's Fang Blenny, or Disco Blenny. The body of the animal is blue, with stripes of black that begin at the chin and extends through the eye as well as down towards the dorsal fin. It can be a great addition in aquariums when it is paired with live rocks in a 30 gallon or larger tank. Live rock offers areas to hunt and feed on small crustaceans and areas to conceal. It's not typically aggressive unless tankmates have the same shape as it does. The fangs are defense mechanism to bite an aggressive fish.   The ORA® Captive-Bred Smith's Blenny should be fed a balanced diet consisting of herbivore-friendly prepared foods. The fish should be fed small portions of food multiple times per day. They are carnivores.   Approximate Purchase Size: 1-1/4" to 2"

Smith's Blenny Description The Smith's Blenny or White Blenny has a long, slender, white body that has a lateral black stripe that runs across the dorsal fin over the eye. Smith's Blenny is best suited to smaller aquariums. Make sure you have a stable system, with plenty of live rocks for eating and shelter. It's very tranquil, however, when it is threatened, it has sharp fangs that are venomous to defend itself and give a brutal bite. Limit one to tank. Do not keep fish that resemble the shape of this fish.   Smith's Blenny Diet Blennies consume a wide variety of things, including the vegetable matter and marine algae.

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.
