    Hello everyone! I was doing research about the striped blenny because I am interested in purchasing some, but I am hesitating because, according to my research, they have a venom when they bite because of their "fangs". I am worried because I have a 3 year old son and I am afraid that if I am at school, he might stick his hand in the water and get bit. If it is not advisable to buy, I will not. But I am hoping I can! :D . Thanks in advance for any advice!

    I would be more worried about them being reef safe; they are known to nip or even eat corals (especially soft). Obviously not an issue if this is a FOWLR.
