Bundoon Blenny

Meiacanthus bundoon

Physical Description– The Bundoon Blenny has a dark body with a yellow horizontal stripe along its side and a fork-like caudal fin. It is very similar in appearance to the Tongan green blenny (Meiacanthus tongaensis) to which it is closely related. With its attractive lyretail and near-neon stripe, this active fish is an aquarist favorite.

Temperament– Like all members of the genus Meiacanthus, the Bundoon blenny possesses sharp fangs and venom which it only employees in defense. As such, the Bundoon blenny does not pose a threat to most fishes in a peaceful or semi-aggressive community tank. The only exception may be if a Bundoon blenny is housed with a fish that is very similar in shape, size and color. In most cases, only one member of this genus should be kept in an aquarium to avoid unnecessary aggression.

Size– The Bundoon Blenny will grow to about 3.25 inch when mature.

Diet– This blenny benefits from a varied diet with plenty of meaty options offered two or three times per day. Sustainable Aquatics tank-bred blennies are weaned onto captive dry foods such as the Sustainable Aquatics Dry Hatchery Diet.

Distribution– Tonga
