Zebra Striped Fang Blenny Meiacanthus Grammistes

Overview: The Zebra Striped Fang Blenny, with its distinct black and white horizontal stripes, is a small yet captivating addition to any marine aquarium. This species is known not just for its striking appearance, but also for its unique adaptation – a pair of fang-like teeth used primarily for defense.

Origin: Native to the Indo-Pacific region, this species thrives in coral-rich lagoons and reef slopes, often found swimming freely or nestled within the crevices of the reef.

Feeding: Omnivorous by nature, the Zebra Striped Fang Blenny requires a varied diet to stay healthy. Offer a mix of marine flake foods, small pellets, and live or frozen foods such as brine shrimp and mysis shrimp. Regular feeding of vitamin-enriched foods can enhance their vibrant coloration and overall health.

Tank Mates: Ideal tank mates include peaceful to moderately aggressive fish that are not small enough to be considered prey. Avoid housing with large predatory fish or those known to be aggressive towards blennies. Good companions include clownfish, dwarf angelfish, and certain types of gobies and wrasses.

Aggression: This species is generally peaceful but can exhibit territorial behavior towards its own kind and similar-looking fish. It’s recommended to keep only one per tank unless the aquarium is large enough to establish separate territories.

Experience Level: Intermediate. While not overly demanding, maintaining optimal water quality and a stress-free environment is crucial for the wellbeing of the Zebra Striped Fang Blenny.

Water Parameters:

  • Temperature: 74-82°F (23-28°C)
  • pH: 8.1-8.4
  • Salinity: 1.020-1.025 SG
  • Ammonia/Nitrite: 0

With their unique appearance and interesting behavior, the Zebra Striped Fang Blenny makes a fascinating addition to any marine aquarium. They bring a touch of the wild Indo-Pacific reef life into your home or office, captivating onlookers with their dynamic stripes and playful antics.
