Description

The Forktail Blenny or Lyretail Fang Blenny it is nicely colored with a blue and yellow body and an attractive long flowing fork tail.

 

 

The Forktail Blenny stays fairly active swimming and will rarely bother other tank mates however if harassed by others it will retaliate with a bite from its venomous fangs. Keep only one per tank, best in smaller tanks   Use caution when entering the aquarium with your hands as it may perceive you as a threat.

 

Blennies will eat mostly all foods including vegetable matter that contains marine algae.  Try feeding with Ocean Nutrition Formula One Pellets regularly for a healthy diet.
