Golden Fiji Blenny

[OranguTang]

Hello DFS,

I had a question pop up in my tank thread that got me a little curious. I have a fiji golden blenny from your divers den, it is a beautiful fish I must say. The question was asked if it was not in fact a golden blenny but just the juvenile morph of the black sailfin blenny. Is this true or will these fiji's stay golden the duration of their life?

I did a little research and it looks like they are collected from different areas, although nearby. I also sent you an email with no response so I am posting here. Thanks again, always had a good experience with you guys.

OranguTang,
Thank you for your patience. This is a juvenile morph. It has been our experience that these fish will maintain their yellow coloring in captivity. If the fish is kept in a good environment with proper water parameters and diet, it should remain yellow. Please contact us at 1-800-344-3699 if you have any further concerns about this fish.

Thank you, I do pride my water quality and feeding regiment. So I hope it does stay yellow.
