Ecsenius pictus

Juvenile Pictus Blennies often display vibrant colors, including a mix of blue, yellow, and white stripes. As they mature, their coloration may become less intense, and they may exhibit a more subdued, cryptic appearance with a mottled pattern. However, the specific coloration may vary between individual blennies. They are a smaller blenny with very large eyes, and small mouth giving these fish a very comical look.

Generally found amid crevices and rocks on the bottom of its environment, the Pictus Blenny needs a tank of at least 10 gallons with plenty of live rock for grazing, perching and hiding. They should not be housed with aggressive species that may intimidate these fish into hiding.

The diet of the Pictus Blenny should include vegetable matter, including frozen and dried foods containing marine and blue-green algae. It will also feed on (and help control) algae growing in the aquarium.
