Select Variant
Scooter Blenny is often referred to as Scooter Dragonet as well as Ocellated Dragonet. It is brown with flecks of white, with red highlights. Males usually have brighter colors and have a larger first dorsal fin.
A 30 gallon and greater saltwater aquarium with live sand substrate, gentle tank mates, and plenty of live rock create an ideal habitat to house The Scooter Blenny. There are many species that could be kept; in that case, it's recommended to bring them all into the tank at once. The ratio should be between 2 and 3 females for each male.
The Scooter Blenny might be a tough fish to keep because of its feeding habits. It is believed that the Scooter Blenny will go through the sand bed to find food. Finely cut meaty items and brine shrimp with vitamin-enriched brine may be suitable substitutes.
