The Pink Scooter Blenny is a striking addition to my 30-gallon tank. It’s active and peaceful, and the pink and red mottling is beautiful. I’ve had to adjust the pH and dKH slightly to match its needs, but it’s thriving now.
Carolyn Tucker –
It’s a unique fish with a lovely appearance. I expected it to be more aggressive, but it’s actually quite calm. The tank needs to be stable, and I’ve had to monitor water parameters closely.
