Now here's the big news... We have aquacultured this unique, amazing and not commonly seen fish here our state-of-the-art hatchery in Los Angeles, California! Next bomb up, we're the first to do it on a commercial level in the United States! Our dedicated team of biologists have been working hard to overcome challenges, so that the Gulf Blenny could be added to our ever-growing list of QM Labs in-house aquacultured species. Right now, we are preparing to have our first ever release of this aquacultured fish, and our hope is that with future success, this occasionally seen fish in the aquarium trade will have the opportunity to grace many more marine fish tanks around the world!

In the wild, Ecsenius pulcher is a grazing fish, that loves to mow down a variety of algae, but they also consume a large number of small invertebrates while doing so. It's important to offer both some greenery and some protein in their diet; this process is made much easier in these aquacultured fish because we can rely in part on the high-quality pellets from Nutramar. The Algae and Color Boost Shots offer them an excellent balanced nutrition for their needs, along with frozen preparations such as Gamma Mysis Shrimp and Gamma Brine Shrimp plus Spirulina will provide proper nutrition.

I grew up in Los Angeles myself and this news about raising a new captive fish seems like LA would be the place for this to happen. As far as diet, the food available in LA should be perfect. Everyone here is into weed and when they get hungry, they eat anything, no matter how many bugs are growing on it.

Ok, I jest, but seriously, Congratulations on success! That's a nice-looking fish and you all should rightfully be proud of this situation!
