Sabortooth Blenny

Plagiotremus Blennies should be added to well established aquariums with rock work for perching, hiding and grazing. They are hardy, active and can be a bit aggressive and territorial towards smaller, less aggressive tank mates. Plagiotremus Blennies are often found in areas of lagoons, seaward reefs. Provide a diet rich in meaty foods. Plagiotremus Blennies may pick at small fish or crustaceans. Most Blennies lack or have very small swim bladders. Be sure to provide an aquarium with a tight fitting lid as Blennies may jump.

The Sabortooth Blenny is not commonly seen in the aquarium trade. Sabortooth Blennies have beautifully colored brown, yellow and white stripes and a white belly. The dorsal fin is black with blue to white outer margins. Sabortooth Blenny can grow to almost 4".
