[Nickotopolous]

Hi i am really interested in the convict/engineering blenny (Pholidichthyidae) does anyone own one of these fish and would i be able to keep one in my 450 litre reef tank (mainly small fish).

Yes, you can keep one, but beware. You must be prepared for their burrowing habits. They require a pretty deep sand bed and your rocks need to be resting on the bottom glass, not the sand bed. Cause they'll undermine the rockwork if not...

Also beware, when they turn full adult in around 5 years, they'll get pretty aggressive. Until then though, they'll be model citizens
