From our species guide
In plain words: The canary blenny is a small fish that is bright yellow, just like a canary bird. It comes from the reefs of Fiji in the Pacific Ocean. It eats tiny animals that drift by in the water. It has two big fangs in its lower jaw.
The canary blenny is a fang blenny, bright yellow from head to tail, that reaches about 4 to 5 inches. It is reef safe, gets along with most fish and eats small meaty and herbivore foods two or three times a day. Like its relatives it has venomous fangs that it uses only in defense, so never hand feed it. Keep one per tank unless you have a pair, give it rockwork with holes to claim and keep the tank covered, because it jumps.
