Gold Midas blenny

tidefanjam · Apr 11, 2018

I have a 65 gallon, right now my current stocking is a starry blenny & a clown plus couple of emeralds couple of peppermints, I’m ready to add more fish, would a gold Midas get along with my starry? I also want to add a few cardinals and a wrasse in the future

I would advise against it. It may work itself out but personally I would not take a chance with 2 blennys in a 65g. Cardinals will be fine provided you can guarantee they are bonded if theyre bangii. Smaller flasher wrasses like a McCoskers would be a great addition.

Yea it is honestly hit or miss but may end up with a dead blenny or they could be best friends lolol

What about the fang blenny? I’ve read that since they are swimmers instead of perching that they would be ok with starry?or is it probably just best to only have 1 of any type blenny in the tank?

The midas / starry thing can go either way. I've got one of each (and had them in a 65 for a while ... though the starry was being harassed by a kole tang), and they _mostly_ get along. The midas swims high, the starry rock-hops, but when the starry gets too close, the midas will sometimes take exception - and he bites pretty hard.
