Scooter Blenny and Other Difficult Marine Fish

"Scooter Blenny and Other Difficult Marine Fish"," I' have seen the strangest fish being imported that i know will probably never sell.


Unfortunately they also bring in some very common fish that do extremely poorly in our aquariums.


Scooter Blenny

While somewhat drab looking with their overall white and brown markings on their bodies, they are still brought in with great regularity.


They eat any small crustaceans they can get their hands on like copepods and munnid isopods and any other small life forms in the sand substrate and around the rock.
 Only those with large established aquariums manage to keep them with successfully.
 They have a highly compressed body like that of the surgeonfish and they possess a distinctive dorsal fin that when erect, looks like a spike.
 They feed only on one thing.
 Which means keeping them alive would mean deep pockets to spend on live corals as food.


Mandarin Goby

The difficulties in caring for the mandarin goby are very similar to its cousin, the scooter blenny.
 However, it should be noted that with persistent effort, you can get them to feed on frozen foods most of the time.
