I Found A Beautiful, Small Fish For A Small Reef Tank :)

[JumboShrimp]

I have noticed that people frequently ask for fish-suggestions for small tanks— this is a Lyretail Fang Blenny / Forktail Blenny that I have in my 20 gallon AIO. Beautiful colors, as you can see. I am really enjoying this fish.

(Current tank mates: Pink Skunk Clownfish, Pajama Cardinal, Chalk Bass, and a Yellowtail Damsel.)

Venomous. Watch your fingers!

Indeed... and I do! Lol!

Nice forktail!

I'm a huge fan of fang blennies. I'll never have a tank (24g or up) without at least one ... and currently have 3 in my 120g.

Just too active, curious, brave, reef safe, and peaceful to (except to other fang blennies in some cases) to resist.

Oh ... and about the only way you stand any chance of getting bit by one is if you put your hand over its hidey-hole. (And not a very painful or dangerous venom to humans FWIU.)

Love forktails. It’s likely one of my next fish for my 25WB.
