Blennies --> Black Combtooth Blenny

Black Combtooth Blenny (Ecsenius Namiyei)


The Black Combtooth Blenny - also known as Namives Blenny or the Yellowtail

Black Blenny - This fish is not often seen in the hobby. Adding one to your reef

aquarium may just cause a little blenny envy among friends! Useful for

controlling microalgae on live rock and corals, these reef-safe herbivores pack

plenty of personality, darting from perch to perch among the rockwork. Body

coloration graduates from a primarily blackish-purple body to an electric indigo

and yellow-white tail. In nature, they are most commonly found among the

shallow reef flats, but also inhabit estuaries and outer reef lagoons to

about 60 feet deep. Combtooth Blennies are named for their distinctive

fine teeth - about 100! - embedded in their lips rather than their jaw.

They use these teeth to scrape algae off rocks and aquarium glass. Generally

found amid crevices and rocks on the bottom of its environment, the Black

Combtooth Blenny needs a tank of at least 75 litres with plenty of scattered

live rock for perching and hiding. They are generally peaceful, but may become

territorial towards others within the same genus. The diet of the Black

Combtooth Blenny should include vegetable matter, including frozen and dried

foods containing marine and blue-green algae. It will also feed on

(and help control) algae growing in the aquarium.
