Enchelyurus flavipes

Enchelyurus flavipes, commonly known as the Yellowfin blenny, is a small blenny which is sometimes mistakes with Ecsenius bicolor. Their body is anywhere from entirely black till only the front half. The back part is yellow to orange which usually goes further to the front in the dorsal and anal fin, but this is quite variable.

These fish are usually found on shallow coral reefs. Makes sure your tank has ample rocks with hiding spots for these blennies. In a large aquarium multiple blennies is possible as long as enough territories can be formed, but in a small tank they can best be kept alone or as a proven pair. They feed mainly on zooplankton and can best be fed with live and frozen food like copepods, artemia and small gammarus, but usually will learn to feed on high quality flakes and pellets as well!
