Similar to Meiacanthus oualanensis the Stunning Green Canary Blenny (Meiacanthus tongaensis) has a vivid green head and a black stripe that runs down the dorsal part of its fin. What's more interesting to observe is its ability to "hover" in the water as it swims. It moves through the aquarium's reef between quick darts and abrupt stops in style and grace. Males tend to be bigger than females and undergo an array of colors as they breed. The blenny requires at least 30 gallons filled with live rock to hunt and foraging to flourish. It is best to have only one per tank unless a breeding pair is kept. If another fish attacks it the Green Canary Blenny will respond by biting into the inside of the mouth of the attacking fish.   It is believed that the Green Canary Blenny can be venomous, and should be treated with care when children have tank access as it might consider fingers to be an attacker and give a painful bite. The fish will only apply their bites when they are eaten by large fishes as they bite into the inside of the mouth of the fish, ensuring they cannot be swallowed.   A diet for Canary Blenny should consist of minced crustacean flesh that has been finely chopped Mysis, vitamin-enriched brine shrimps as in addition to frozen herbivore recipes.   Approximate Size of Purchase Small 1" to 2" Medium 3" up to 3"
