Sharp Nosed Weever

Parapercis Blennies also known as sandperches and should be added to well established aquariums with plenty of swim room. Rock work should be provided for perching, hiding and grazing. They are hardy, active and can be a bit aggressive and territorial towards smaller, less aggressive tank mates. Provide a diet rich in meaty foods. Parapercis 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.
