About this fish
About this fish
Red Scooter Blenny is the shop name for a marine dragonet, sold under the scientific name Synchiropus stellatus. In a reef or fish tank, this small, active bottom-to-midwater fish is best used for hobbyists who can provide appropriate live or live-style feeding, helping it thrive as part of a peaceful community display.
Features:
- Peaceful, community-friendly temperament compared with many other marine fish
- Active foraging behavior, often spending time searching through rock and substrate
- Best suited to tanks that can support appropriate natural foods (or that can be fed appropriately at set times)
- Typically prefers established aquariums where microfauna and/or copepods are available
- Generally considered reef-compatible, as it is not commonly kept as a predator of invertebrates
Specifications:
- Scientific name (verified): Synchiropus stellatus
- Care level (general guidance): Medium (typically requires consistent, appropriate feeding)
- Temperament: Peaceful
- Diet (general guidance): Commonly kept on live or frozen foods that resemble natural benthic prey; copepods are often important
- Water type: Marine (saltwater)
- Temperature: Tropical range, commonly about 72–78°F (22–26°C)
- pH: Typically maintained around 8.1–8.4
- Salinity: Typically about 1.020–1.026 specific gravity
