My shanny was caught by hand in a rockpool at Lulworth Cove (Dorset) in November 2009 and was previously in another setup. In spite of its large mouth, it is relatively peaceful even towards much smaller fish such as my two-spot gobies. It has however recently learned that the prawns are vulnerable when they have just moulted, and has eaten a few of the smaller ones. It accepts most foods and will even take dry flakes or pellets. It is hardy and tolerant of higher tempartures for short spells.
The great thing about all blennies I have kept is that they really have unique identifiable characters. Some are shy and hide most of the time, others are highly inquisitive, and some are just plain aggressive, but they all seem to be aware of the world outside the tank and will often react to the presence of people.
