This species is endemic to the Eastern Pacific, and is found from central Baja California to the western and central eastern Gulf of California.
Very special thanks for the first two photos of Enneanectes reticulatus to Dr. Ross Robertson, Australia.
He has taken the photos im Mexico, where adult triplefin blennys inhabit rocky shores in shallow waters in a depth of 1 to 5 meters.

Jumping guard
A jumping guard prevents (nocturnal) fish from jumping out.
Wrasses, blennies, hawkfishs and gobies jump out of an unprotected tank in fright if their night rest is disturbed, unfortunately these jumpers are found dried up in the morning on carpets, glass edges or later behind the tank.

A small night light also helps, as it provides the fish with a means of orientation in the dark!
