Just picked up a striped fang blenny... have some questions

[Plec123]

I got myself a striped fang blenny this morning; it's doing very well and has already found a spot to call its own in my tank. has anyone else kept fang blennies and can they share their experiences? I'm a bit scared to put my hand in my tank now lol.

The only ones I have seen dont get too big. I had feed all my fish, including a cat shark, lion fish, and triggers (which when you consider their size, have very impressive fish, and drew blood on me for the first time at alittle over 2")I think you should be fine. This fish probably isnt even smart enough to hand feed, which is where you start having issues with being "attacked"

Ok, thanks. Thats reassuring

No worries. Post some pictures of the little guy and his dental hardware.

I've been bitten by them, as we get dozens in every month at work. It's no big deal, not even comparable to a bee sting. Like being pricked by a small catfish spine.
