When introducing a Yellow Eye Combtooth Blenny to a new aquarium, it is important to acclimate them slowly to their new environment. This can be done by floating the bag with the fish in the aquarium water for 15-20 minutes to allow the temperature to equalize. Then, the water in the bag should be gradually mixed with water from the aquarium over the course of an hour or more.
