Red Tail Bicolor Blenny Escenius Bicolor

Overview: The Red Tail Bicolor Blenny, a vibrant addition to any marine aquarium, is known for its unique coloring and peaceful demeanor. With a striking combination of blue in the front half of its body and a vivid red-orange tail, this species is a visual delight. Reaching up to 4 inches in length, they are perfect for small to medium-sized tanks.

Origin: Native to the Indo-Pacific region, these blennies thrive in coral-rich areas and rocky crevices, often found at depths between 2 to 25 meters. Their natural habitat is characterized by warm, clear waters.

Feeding: Omnivorous by nature, their diet should include a variety of marine algae, vegetable matter, and occasional meaty foods. High-quality marine flake foods, spirulina, and frozen preparations will keep them healthy and vibrant. It’s important to feed them small amounts two to three times a day.

Tank Mates: Bicolor Blennies are generally peaceful and can coexist with a wide variety of tank mates. Ideal companions include smaller, non-aggressive fish species and invertebrates. However, they should not be housed with large, predatory fish or other blennies that might compete for territory.

Aggression: While mostly peaceful, they can become territorial towards other blennies and similarly shaped fish, especially in smaller tanks. Providing plenty of hiding spots and live rock for grazing can help minimize aggression.

Experience Level: Suitable for both beginners and experienced aquarists, the Bicolor Blenny is relatively hardy but requires a stable, well-maintained tank to thrive. Regular water changes and monitoring are essential.

Water Parameters:

  • Temperature: 72°F to 78°F (22°C to 26°C)
  • pH: 8.1 to 8.4
  • Salinity: 1.020 to 1.025 sg
  • Alkalinity: 8 to 12 dKH

Conclusion: The Red Tail Bicolor Blenny is a charismatic and colorful addition to any reef or marine aquarium. With its easy-going nature and minimal care requirements, it makes an excellent choice for aquarists of all levels. Just remember to provide them with a varied diet and plenty of space to explore and graze.
