Description
The Canary Blenny is a vibrant, bright yellow fish that is a popular choice for saltwater aquariums due to its hardiness and unique personality. It has a long, slender body and a pointed snout, with two prominent teeth at the front.
Reef Safe
Yes, this species is considered safe for reef aquariums. However, care should be taken as they can sometimes nip at small-polyped stony coral and clam mantles.
Environment
The Canary Blenny prefers a tank with plenty of hiding spots and a sandy substrate to mimic its natural habitat. It also needs clean, well-aerated water.
Behavior
This species is generally peaceful but can be territorial with other blennies, especially in smaller tanks. It is known for its unique ability to "hop" along the bottom of the tank using its pectoral fins.
