Red Spot Flymo Blenny Blenniella Chrysospilos

Overview: The Red Spot Flymo Blenny, known for its distinctive red spots and playful behavior, is a small, bottom-dwelling fish that thrives in reef environments. Its striking coloration and active nature make it a delightful addition to any marine aquarium.

Origin: This species is native to the Indo-Pacific region, where it is commonly found in shallow, coral-rich areas. Its natural habitat includes lagoons and coral reefs where it can blend in among the corals and rocks.

Feeding: The Red Spot Flymo Blenny is primarily herbivorous, feeding on various types of algae in the wild. In captivity, its diet should include a variety of marine algae, vegetable matter, and high-quality marine flake and pellet foods to ensure proper nutrition.

Tank Mates: Ideal tank mates include peaceful fish and invertebrates that do not compete aggressively for food or territory. Avoid housing with large, predatory fish or those known to be territorial towards bottom dwellers.

Aggression: This species exhibits low levels of aggression and is generally peaceful towards other tank inhabitants. However, it may show territorial behavior towards its own kind or similar-looking species. It is best kept singly unless the aquarium is spacious enough to establish territories.

Experience Level: The Red Spot Flymo Blenny is suitable for intermediate to advanced aquarists. While it is not overly demanding, maintaining stable water conditions and a diet rich in vegetable matter is crucial for its well-being.
