Blenny, no it was not me.

They are all nice. I don't think there are many people around here that have acans.

Jeremy, Have you ever had a poison tooth blenny? I have had two and can't seem to keep them alive.

No, I have not had 1 but would like to get 1. From what I have read, I thought they were fairly hardy. It worries me that you had problems with 2 of them. Maybe they are not as hardy as I thought.

It depends upon which species you are referring to, since they are all fang or poison tooth blennies. The relatively common Meiacanthus ovaluensis is not as hardy as other species. They seem to have a problem accepting foods and generally only eat natural fare. The other species are relatively hardy. Most folks have more trouble because they do not feed them enough (at least twice a day), so they end up starving. Their little metabolisms are so fast, the poor guys can starve quickly and easily. But so long as they are fed well, they should do just fine.
