The Canary Blenny is also known as the Oualan Forktail Blenny or Canary Fang Blenny. This Canary Blenny is aptly named due to its vibrant yellow. Males tend to be larger than females, and they experience an array of color variations during breeding.
This blenny requires a tank size of at least 30 gallons filled with live rock for hunting and grazing to flourish. It is best to have just one per tank, unless a breeding pair. If the fish is attacked it responds by slicing into the attacker's mouth. The Canary Blenny is considered venomous and should be handled carefully in the presence of children who have access to tank.
Canary Blenny's diet should consist of minced crustacean flesh as well as mysis, vitamin enriched brine shrimp and frozen herbivore dishes.
Approximate Purchase Size: Small: 1-1/4" to 2-1/2"; Medium: 2-1/2" to 3-1/4"; Large: 3-1/4" to 4"

Canary Blenny Overview
The Canary Blenny earns its name from its vivid yellow color. This striking fish thrives in a medium to large tank, ideally with ample live rock for hunting and grazing. Here’s a closer look at its needs and characteristics:- Habitat Needs: Ensure the tank has a minimum size of 30 gallons and includes live rock to support its natural behaviors. This setup allows the Canary Blenny to hunt and graze effectively.
- Tank Mates: Ideally, keep only one Canary Blenny per tank unless you are maintaining a breeding pair. This approach helps prevent aggression and territorial disputes.
- Defense Mechanism: When threatened, the Canary Blenny defends itself by biting the attacker’s mouth. As a venomous species, it can deliver a painful bite if handled carelessly.
- Safety Precaution: It’s crucial to keep this blenny away from children who have access to the tank. The Canary might mistake fingers for threats and respond defensively.
