Pseudoblennius percoides

(Perch Sculpin )

This bottom dwelling fish is kinda like a cross between a sandperch a blenny and a sculpin.   It lacks a swim bladders and hunts from small organisms like fish and shrimp between the kelp covered rocks along Japan’s coast.  It does best if kept in a dimly lit aquarium with good water flow where it can relax and hunt naturally.  Not a great community fish as it can be stressed easy.  We’ve had success keeping them in 6′ tanks with just a few other larger peaceful fish as accent pieces.
