Midas Blenny Questions

[Nats-Reefer]

Question #1 Would the Midas blenny go good with this stock in a Nuvo 40?

McCoskers Flasher Wrasse
Yellow Banded Possum Wrasse
Geometric Pygmy perchlet
Variable Jawfish
Rainfords Goby

Question #2 I have heard stories about them being mean, is this true? It would be the last fish in the Nuvo 40.


Also if you have pictures of your Midas Blenny please post those pictures.

Thanks in advance.

You should be fine

I have one in an 80 gallon deep blue. It hides mostly in a hole in a rock. It will come out every so often to feed. but when walking to close to the tank it darts back into its hole. I will try and get a picture if I can. I don't see there being an issue with the fish that you listed.

From your stocklist, it looks like you have a lot of very peaceful fish, so I think the Midas should do well in your tank but there always a few fish that are oddballs and end up being aggressive. A good substitution could be a yellow clown goby if you'd prefer a smaller fish.

Yes! One of my favorites! Here’s Blen-Jamin’. He’s always out and about and has a little attitude but not overly aggressive. He just defends his perch.

Love Midas! Be sure your tank is covered. I lost mine due to jumping.
Why do fish want to explore outside of the tank?

@Florida Sunshine I know right!!!

I have one. It is a bit aggressive and I would really use caution mixing them with fire fish gobies. They fight all the time. Not sure why.

I would not add a clown goby as suggested if you plan on keeping SPS.
