Helcogramma Blennies should be added to well established aquariums. Provide plenty of rockwork with caves and crevices to perch, hide or rest when needed. Helcogramma Blennies can be territorial and aggressive and may disturb invertebrates. Provide a diet rich in meaty foods and algae based foods several times daily. Most Blennies lack or have very small swim bladders. Be sure to provide an aquarium with a tight fitting lid as Blennies may jump.
