    image.jpg Are Striped Fang blennies dangerous to other fish? Just wanted to know because I can't find any info on it and wanted one for my biocube 29.

    Yeah, I thought I heard somewhere that they or it was another species of goby would take chunks out of fish randomly.

    I have 2 black fang bennies going on 3 years and they are model citizens in a 150g tank. They are with a couple of gobies, several anthias, a handful of blue star wrasse , a trio of golden assessors , a fire fish and a couple of tangs. I've never seen one aggressive move from mine and they are the second oldest fish in the tank. Only my clowns are older and they never harassed any new fish. Maybe the stripes make these guys meaner?
