Well I Got One Today
It Looks Like These Babies Will Eat Anything
But He Does Not Get Along At All With My New Purple Dottyback
They Were Chasing Each Other Not Even 3 Hors After Introduction
I Guess Simular Body Styles.
Noww My Dotty Is On One Side Of The Tank And My Canary Is On The Other

ok this is weird
my canary is twice as big as my dottyback.
Woke up this morning and the were in combat.
actually the dottyback was chhasing him like a mad man.
The canary was showing his size because his dorsal fin was extended he actually looks good like that and almost 3.times as big. But he is a punk. I think he is even poisonous. Its like being attacked by a mugger you have a gun, and you still let him rob you.

Yep the fangblenny is venomous.

Rearrange some rock work to make the dottyback think he's someplace else - new territory, he won't be so tough.

I've had less than stellar experience with the fangblennies - they often waste away, often getting them to eat is a problem. Was yours eating in the store? If so what did it eat?

Try frozen mysis, that should stimulate a feeding response. Watch for him getting thin even though he may be eating... I think they're prone to intestinal worms (metronidazole is good for that).

Good! Getting them to eat prepared foods is half the battle sometimes.
