midas blenny

This is my first time posting on this forum so first off HELLO! I have been fascinated with photographing and documenting fish doing courtship behaviors and colorations. My latest endeavour is the Midas Blenny since there is very little online about their mating besides the fact they follow the...

I was looking to get a blenny for this aquarium and was wondering which would have the most personality? I heard that Midas blennys usually are very active swimmers. Additionally, are there any other colorful, or personality, or active fish that you would reccomend for this aquarium that I...

Have you had experience with blue streak cleaning wrasse attacking fish? What can I do to make the environment better. The fish have been in the same tank for about 6 months with no issues. Ours has been darting towards our Midas able. Y nd now he is afraid to come out. Every time he tries to...

Hello, I got this Midas blenny from petco a couple days ago. He looked sick and I would not usually buy a sick fish but he I felt real bad for him and he was still eating so I figured I’d try to save him. He has mouth fungus. Or something like that. His face literally looks like it’s melting...

Hello everyone, I still very new to fish keeping and reef tanks in general. I've had my tank since for almost a year. I had my Midas Blenny for 5 months and out of nowhere it started acting strange. Perched in the corner of the tank using its fins to hold itself about halfway up the tank...

I have a Midas named Sherbie of whom I’ve really grown to love… their quirky personality, the way they swim, their color, their big blue eyes, and how chonky they are is becoming one of my favorite parts of my tank… what do you think of yours? Feel free to share pics ❤️ here is mine (:

Have you ever had the sunlight come through your tank in addition to the lighting? I think it really makes pics, especially closeups, really POP! Here are some I took this evening with my iPhone. Now you post your favorite “Sunset Pics”…

I have had a Midas Blenny for several months now and he not only has completely dominated my 32AOI, which includes a damsel, in an almost dictator fashion. I was at a loss and going to donate him. I had added a skunk cleaner shrimp about 2 months back and a couple weeks after I added him I had...

Hi Everyone, I lost one of my favorite fish today, my midas blenny. He went from active, healthy and eating, to breathing heavy and dying on the sand bend in less than 24 hours. Unfortunately, it seems like others have had similar experiences. It also seems like when these fish go downhill...

Unsure what to call this or how to describe it other than it looks like the skin is shedding. Literally no other weird behavior and is eating well. It’s had it for a few months now and nothing has happened. It doesn’t change at all, stays looking like the photos. thoughts?

I was wondering if this stuff on my Midas blenny was black ich, and if so how would I go about treating it? I do not have a qt tank, and if it is black ich I’d assume it’s probably spread.

I’ve read in the past that blenny and goby shouldn’t be together, however recently I have read that as they occupy different space they get along fine? Any experiences/suggestions? I have plenty of live rock, caves, holes, ledges and areas that break apart the whole tank. If this could work...

I have a tailspot blenny in a 40 gal, I have a starry blenny in there that’s bullying him to no end and I’m removing him asap. Im absolutely in love with blennies and I’m very sad I’m having to rehome my starry blenny but I’m not going to tolerate fish bullies. Do you guys think he could be...

Tons of other “Species Dedicated” threads, lets start one for our beloved Blennies! Ask questions, post pics/videos, how to breed and courtship, anything Blenny! Here’s our suspected male Salarias Fasciatus

Yesterday, I got a QT'd midas blenny that I had in an acclimation box overnight and none of my fish paid attention to it. This morning, I released it into the tank before the lights went off and my starry blenny is going after it. The starry blenny is significantly larger than the midas blenny...

yesterday I bought a Midas Blenny from my LFS. He was active and eating in the store. I brought him home acclimated him like I would all my other fish. I currently have a black clownfish and a sand sifting goby. All day yesterday the Blenny was active exploring all the different nooks and...

This tank has been up and running for a bit but I thought I'd start a build thread for it. Monday 17/01/2022 I bought a second hand Red Sea E260 from my LFS that came with all equipment including the sump upgrade for $5000 AUD. about $3700 USD Tank 2 x stock Ai Hydra 26s 2 x return pumps 1 x...

Over the last few days, I've noticed these strange growths on the side of my Midas Blenny, they seem like sharp hair-like crystals. No other fish show any signs of similar growths. Her movements around the tank and eating habits don't seem to be affected in any way as of yet and was hoping...

The past few days I have been noticing my Midas Blenny swimming around the tank less than normal. I started to notice that he was getting very thin and losing color. He had been eating fine in the weeks prior, but suddenly, he’s refusing to accept any food. I have tried pellets, mysis, and...

Can someone please tell me the difference between the midas and canary blenny? Also, which one is more active and is always out? And which one is the most peaceful (with inverts as well)? I've also read somewhere that the midas blenny's bite is venomous, is this true?

Hi all, Since yesterday my Midas blenny has been acting strange, it's scratching its body along the rockwork (see video) and sometimes biting its tail. All other fish are acting normal. All fish are eating normally. No signs of white spots whatsoever. The blenny has been in my tank for about 3...

So I noticed my blenny occasionally has a very bloated stomach, I'm not sure if it is related to this bubble he has on his fin, the bubble has gotten smaller so I took him out of QT but now seeing this inflamed stomach I'm not sure what I should do. It doesn't look like this all the time, but it...

Had this Blenny for about a week now and I check on him daily, today I noticed this large ball on its fin. Any ideas what this could be, should I isolate it is it contagious, treatment ideas? Anything helps photos below thank you!
