Genus
Common name: Snake Blennies
Scientific name: Acanthocepola
Acanthocepola is a genus of fish commonly known as Snake Blennies or Bandfish, which are characterized by their elongated bodies and bright, eye-catching coloration. These fish are generally peaceful and can be a unique addition to a community tank. They thrive in environments with plenty of hiding places and a sandy substrate to mimic their natural habitat. Acanthocepola species are not common in the aquarium trade, but for hobbyists who manage to acquire them, they offer an interesting display of behavior and movement.
