November Fish of the month: Bicolour Blenny: Ecsenius Bicolor

[Jason McKenzie]

Bicolour Blenny: Ecsenius Bicolor


Reef Safe:Yes
Attitude: Peaceful have been know to get aggressive when 3.5 inches or larger
Diet: Vegetable matter high in Spirulina
Care: Easy
Origin: Indo-Pacific
Personal Observations: Great comical fish. Always perching in my Monti Caps or on rock ledges. Sleeps in his favourite hole each night. Tons of personality

It is recommended that a Bicolour Blenny be kept in a tank 20G or Larger

Like all Blennies they have been know to jump.

Feeding: A variety of vegi flake and Nori. Mine eats Mysis and brine so don't tell him he's a vegaterian

i recently had the opportunity to own a bicolor blenny, i had to find the little guy a new home due to my tank downgrade....mine only ate frozen mysis too...go figure.

Thanks for FOTM post Jason.

Was it that motivated to get this guy right after your post.

Has adjusted better and better to tank environment ever since.

Great personality...love to see him perched on favorite observation posts or peaking out of one of two caverns, one high in tank, one low.

Was pretty shy for long time, and rarely spent time out in open. Mostly just flashing between hiding places.

Now swims all over tank, and gets right out there with the rest of fish during feeding frenzy....

Is definitely one of my tank favorites....














Cool, Cool Fish!!!

I love those little rascals...Would love to put one in the 72 display but am afraid of problems with our Starry Blenny...
