    I love Soldier Fish! From what I have read, they are pretty much like Cardinals. Fairly peaceful, meat eaters. Just a venemous version.

    They have fangs. They are vampire fish...LOL

    I have two different kinds of venomous fish in my tank. A fanged blenny, and a canary blenny. No problems with them, they are just another fish. I am assuming it is a defensive thing.

    Oh, okay. Fangs don't scare me too much...I think I could avoid them! But maybe he wouldn't want to bite me anyway? Lol I would be feeding him!

    Blackbar Soldierfisha re really easy to keep, good personalities and easy to feed....that is a different fish though, but they are pretty similar, blackbar probably looks a little nicer too. (not to mention they are usually less than $10 at the LFS)
