The Two Spot Bimaculatus Blenny is a small and comical looking fish that originates from the reefs surrounding Cebu. Its body is covered with a black band that runs from the top half of the eyes to the body, which helps it blend into its surroundings. It's called Two Spot Bimaculatus Blenny because of the two black prominent spots on its stomach area. This species is suitable for both reef and peaceful fish only aquariums, small or large.
Typically found among crevices and rocks at the bottom of its environment, the Two Spot Bimaculatus Blenny requires a tank of at least 10 gallons with plenty of live rock for grazing and hiding. It's important not to house them with aggressive species that may intimidate and scare them. They usually get along well with others of their kind and can be added to the aquarium in groups.
The Two Spot Bimaculatus Blenny's diet should include vegetable matter such as frozen and dried foods containing marine and blue-green algae. They also help control the growth of algae in the aquarium.
