Saddle Blenny (Malacoctenus
triangulatus) Diet 02/11/2008
Hi Gang,
<<Hello, Andrew here>>
Love your website. It has been extremely helpful for me. I have an extremely
quick question. I have already "Googled" looking for the answer. What is the
diet for a Saddle Blenny?
<<Omnivores. Feed this fish brine, Mysid.. foods of that ilk.. Adding algae to
the diet is a good idea too. More info can be found here and the linked Articles
and FAQ's http://www.wetwebmedia.com/blennioids.htm and
http://www.wetwebmedia.com/labrisomids.htm >>
Thank you in advance, Felecia Williamson

Who Am I? Not a Hawkfish
Hello Everybody at WetWebMedia:
Thank you very much for your help in the past. I was wondering if you
guys could identify this little critter I picked up at my local fish
dealer. He said it's a goby, but I'm almost sure it's a hawkfish of
genus Cirrhitichthys. I couldn't find any picture of it on your site or
on fishbase.org. It doesn't have the mouth of a goby -- the jaw shape
is of a predator. It's just over an inch in size and it scoots around
the bottom of the tank, resting at spots like a mandarin fish. It
changes color somewhat when it's on the sand of my tank. Your looking
at the more colorful “live rock” phase. The other phase is more washed
out. It's a neat fish. I'm glad I have it. The other inhabitants ignore
it, even the Dottyback and the much larger Tangs.
Thank for your help.
-Ian Berger
