About Canary Blenny
The Canary Blenny is an ornamental seawater fish native to Fiji and Tonga with a beautiful dorsal fin. This brightly colored fish is a natural choice for reef aquariums, where it can blend in very well with other types of fish. However, there is an exception for a blenny with a similar shape. Then, the fish can turn aggressive.
