That one looks cool! Way better than the brown ones I’ve seen.I recently got a Midas blenny... it instantly decided it was the new tank boss and has zero fear in pestering much larger fish. Chases the tang and wrasse around! Only plus to that is I've seen my melanurus flashing his fins at the blenny and it's so pretty, lol. Kind of annoying that the Midas is a little bit of a punk, but it's a beautiful fish and very active. Mine is more of a darker golden-pink color.
Great photo!I lost my first one from it jumping out of the QT tank with a small opening in the lid by the filter.
I recently got a new one. My Royal Gramma hated him at first. But as long as the blenny stays away from the Gramma's cave he doesn't care. My tomini tang is usually the one that bullies newcomers, but he could careless about him.
My new buddy is always greeting me and uses a leather coral as his home. It's been an awesome addition to my tank.
Yep...agreed! Mine is a greedy pig. Has his hidey hole in the rocks, but knows when it's feeding time!...aside from that he's usually always out checking the upper tank water.I have one--love it. Easy fish, in my opinion. Always out and about when I'm around (looking for food--mine's a pig). No agression towards any other fish in my tank.
Do they all turn yellow like the canary Blennies?Yep...agreed! Mine is a greedy pig. Has his hidey hole in the rocks, but knows when it's feeding time!...aside from that he's usually always out checking the upper tank water.
Don't worry if he color changes for the 1st 3 weeks...he's just getting comfortable!
They will turn blue/purple 1st few days in tank.....that's just them getting settled in... don't worry about it. Feed them as much as you you can...give them A hidey hole in your rocks work.....they will be great and stay golden after 2 mos...!!!Do they all turn yellow like the canary Blennies?
Unless they are the variety that is purple rather than yellow...They will turn blue/purple 1st few days in tank.....that's just them getting settled in... don't worry about it. Feed them as much as yit you can...give them A hidey hole in your rocks work.....they will be great and stay golden after 2 moa.
So I’m thinking of getting a Midas Blenny for my 90 gal. Right now the first 2 fish are 2 weeks before QT release. A Blue Hippo Tang and Tomini Tang. Next up is a Female Japanese Swallowtail Angel, then a pair of clowns.
Who has or had Midas Blennies?
Are they easy or tough?
Tank bullies or peacemakers?
Active or hiders?
I know there’s some color variations and I’d really dig a yellow one. If I get one, I’ll probably QT with the Angel. My QT is a 33gal cube.
Thanks!
He changes his colors a bit depending on mood, similar to how most blennies do. But overall, I've noticed it mentioned online that there are more typically "golden" Midas and then there are some found in different areas that look a bit darker in color/less yellow. I love that mine ended up the pinkish-gold with yellow on the face. When stressed it does change to a much darker color for a bit.That one looks cool! Way better than the brown ones I’ve seen.
