Bundoon Blenny

The Bundoon Blenny is located in Tonga and in the South Pacific and has a caudal fin that looks like an fork. Body color is black, with a yellow stripe running along the horizontal direction from the back of the eye until the middle part of its body. Males tend to be larger than females and undergo an array of color shifts during breeding. The Bundoon Blenny requires an aquarium of at least 30 gallons and lots of live rock to hunt and eat. It is best to have only one fish per aquarium unless a breeding pair is kept.   This Blenny is a very tough and long-lasting fish, making them an ideal choice for beginner or experienced aquarist. This Bundoon Blenny is a great choice for reef aquariums since it won't be a nuisance to corals, invertebrates, or others. If other fish attack it this Bundoon Blenny will respond by slicing into its mouth to ward off the one attacking. It is considered to be venomous, and should be treated at a safe distance from children with access to aquariums as it could consider fingers to be an attack and give a painful bite.   The food should comprise of minced crustacean flesh mysis, and brine shrimp that are vitamin-enriched as well as frozen herbivore dishes.   Approximate Purchase Size: Small: 3/4" to 1-1/4"; Medium: 1-1/4" to 2"; Large: 2" to 3"
