Panamic Barnacle Blenny which is sometimes referred to by The Hancocks Blenny is generally seen from El Salvador to Panama as well as Ecuador. The color is a mix of black with red, white, and black covering the fins and body. The Mexican Barnacle Blenny has an enormous dark brown to charcoal spot on its eye. This Blenny has red lips, iris as well as a front dorsal fin. An established 10 gallon or greater aquarium that has multiple hiding spots and plenty of rocks is the ideal habitat. It is believed that the Panamic Barnacle Blenny is an extremely entertaining fish as they sprint as fast as they can in order to steal food from the water column while trying to avoid being consumed by other fish. The body of this fish is rarely seen since they usually live in a small crevice inside the rock. They are extremely alert fish, constantly looking around the aquarium in anticipation of the next meal to come.   It is believed that the Panamic Barnacle Blenny does best in well-established aquariums , with a huge number of crevices within the rocks to hide. The diet should consist of meaty foods like freshly chopped crustacean flesh and vitamin-rich frozen brine, and mysis shrimp.   Approximate Purchase Size: Small: 3/4" to 1" Medium: 1" to 1-1/2"

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.
