Segmented Sailfin Blenny

$35.99

-

The Segmented Sailfin Blenny is also known as the Segmented Blenny. The body of the blenny is vertically striped or segmented by different bands of reddish and yellow Tan. This blenny displays a lot of individuality in the aquarium and is an excellent choice for anyone from a beginner to an experienced aquarist. A solidly established 30 gallon or bigger aquarium that has multiple levels of swimming and lots of rocks is an ideal setting. The Segmented Blenny is not typically aggressive, unless the tank mates seem to share a similar design as the Segmented Blenny. It is best to keep the blenny in a single tank unless it is kept in an aquarium that is larger and the two species are a couple. It is known to climb up and move between rocks looking for microalgae that it can feed on.   The Segmented Blenny is the perfect option for a reef aquarium. It is reef-safe but can nibble at the polyps and the bases of Acropora sp. as well as others SPS corals. If the SPS dominating aquarium is not well-stocked with mature colonies, these fish could harm Acropora sp. along with Montipora sp.   The Segmented Sailfin Blenny thrives best in aquariums that are well-established and have huge amounts of algae that it can consume. Its diet should be supplemented by vegetable matter, Spirulina, and herbivore preparations.   Approximate Purchase Size: Small 1/2" to 1", Medium 1" to 2", Large 2" or Larger

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.
