midas blenny

Hello, This is my first post—I’m new to reef keeping and one of my fish has become sick. About three weeks ago, my blenny started acting unusual. It began hiding in the rocks and eventually stopped coming out to eat. After about a week of not seeing it, I later found it resting on the bottom...

My Midas Blenny has been staying inside the rock for about a week, spending much of the time lying on his back, belly up. He often squirms, and his breathing seems laboured. Sometimes, when he squirms, his colour gets very dark. When I bring some food to his hiding spot, he eats a little, but...

yesterday, I bought a foxface and a Midas blenny and both are discolored but my foxface is hiding in rocks, the floor, and is still extremely discolored what are my options to save it?

Hello, I’ve had my 50 gal for a year and I’ve had my gold Midas blenny for about 6-8 months of that time, but he’s so skinny and hasn’t grown at all. I’ve been feeding daily, switching between frozen mysis shrimp and frozen brine every other day. He’s eager to eat once he notices, but it looks...

Hey y'all, (Back story) New reefer here, been in fresh for over 20+ years though. 40 gallon saltwater Aqua Top (tank is now 5 months old) is where the question relates. All levels are stable Tank does not look like the pictures anymore. Buddy of mine finally got me into saltwater. Here is...

Okay to make a long story short. - I’ve always loved the golden Midas Blenny - Trustworthy shop gets one in and says it’s a darker blue coloration but will go back to gold when not stressed due to them being in the tank earlier. - It’s been 3 months and still the same coloration. I do love the...

I bought a Midas Blenny 2 days as the newest addition to my 75 gallon reef tank and it has been swimming/perching in the upper corners of the tank since its introduction and often upside down or wrapping itself around suction cups for the heaters or pumps. Initially, I thought it was just...

I have caught him jumping through the net a few times which seemed to damage his dorsal fin a bit but it was only a small rip. I fixed the jumping issue and added a plastic lid. Recently i noticed the top fork of his tail wasn’t standing and was drooping now but now it looks the worst it has and...

Is this normal? I have a midas blenny that I had for about two months now. He’s doing fine, eating like normal, swimming like normal, but he will hide the second he sees someone near the tank. If you look away he will come out, but the second you look at him he will hide in a rock with his head...

Hello everyone my Midas blenny in a QT tank with a few tangs and a clown fish. Yesterday I noticed he had a cut on this side. He’s still active and eating. I wasn’t sure if it was a cut from one of my tangs or uronema. I’m about to take him out and put him in a different tank but what’s the best...

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...
