The Linear Blenny is a small and colorful fish that can grow up to 4 inches in length. They are commonly found in the Western Pacific Ocean, from Indonesia to Papua New Guinea, and are known for their bold striped pattern. This species is popular in the aquarium trade due to its vibrant colors and active behavior.

The Linear Blenny is a carnivorous species and requires a diet that is high in protein. They will eat a variety of foods, including small crustaceans, brine shrimp, and other small meaty foods. It is recommended to feed them small amounts of food multiple times a day to mimic their natural feeding behavior.

Blennies are generally hardy and not prone to many diseases. However, they may be susceptible to common saltwater fish diseases such as ich and velvet. Proper aquarium maintenance, including regular water changes and monitoring water parameters, can help prevent the onset of disease.

The Linear Blenny is native to the Western Pacific Ocean, where it can be found from Indonesia to Papua New Guinea.

The Linear Blenny is generally not aggressive towards other fish but may be territorial towards its own kind. It is not known to be venomous or harmful to humans.

When introducing a Linear Blenny to a new aquarium, it is important to acclimate them slowly to their new environment. This can be done by gradually adding small amounts of water from the new aquarium to the bag containing the fish over a period of 30-45 minutes before releasing it into the new tank.
