View Full Version : Fang Tooth Blennies..
Not sure of the exact name but I just got one from Gold's. Does anyone else have one? I heard if they bite you it's similar to a bee sting, (venemous) Anyone experience this? Haha.. kinda nervous as my hands are (not too often) but often in the tank to clean.. (I know, I know.. I didn't do my "homework" tsk tsk..)
TIA
Anyone? Cool looking fish.. I'll try to take a picture shortly.

i didnt see anything about them being poisonous but who knows
Cool, thanks.
Mine is blue and yellow.. pretty neat colours.
Well I got the scoop on these guys.. they do have venom in their fang-tooth. Apparantley it can hurt like a mofo if bit by one... then it's usually sore like a bee sting for a day or two. They also have venom stored in their (excuse my stupidness) top fin (dorsal?!) So just to share the info.. pass it along, just updating! Here's a pic, looks exactly as shown in the picture. Cute fish.. great blenny-like personality.
