[I Take Cars]

I purchased this in December. He was completely yellow and told itwas a midas. Not sure? If not what kind? TIA

it looks like a midas to me. The African blonde midas blenny is very yellow like a yellow tang yellow. I was told they are more mild than the "other" midas. I don't know for sure. I got a few midas in the past and none of them was mild.

How pretty! I actually bought one that is blue like this yesterday. It's definitely a Midas Blenny. I just haven't seen them change colors from yellow to blue before. My last one stayed yellow the whole time.

It's yellow. Just the led picture ;')

I had one before, but he was never any variation of blue. He turned a mottled brown when stressed. Hopefully it stays blue, but I am happy to have a Midas blenny in my tank, regardless of color

I am thinking of one also, are they hardy? It's for my 120 gallon mixed reef, but I need fish that can eat pellet due to my travel.

Thanks

I had one in my 120. To be honest, I have no idea if they will eat pellets. I only fed frozen at the time.

Mine can eat the smallest pellets but not the 1 mm pellets until they get full grown. I've also had 2 beautiful yellow and pink ones turn blue slowly over a couple months until they decided to go carpet surfing. My latest is 6 inches with long streamers and eats anything I put in up to the 1 mm pellets

It looks like a midas to me. I was looking into getting one for my tank but read they might go after fish same colour and shape. My wife loves our yellow watchmen goby so i passed. During research i read they change colour depending on their mood.

Mine eat frozen hikari mysis brine mix, lrs or rodgers reef food (they love it), l also feed pellets Spectrum .5 sinking 2x a day via auto feeder. He also enjoys the nori with my tangs and clowns. He is about 5" and is #3 in line at the table so he seems happy.

I had one in the same tank as a yellow watchman goby. They didn't interact since the blenny was more of a top level swimmer. They were in a 120 though, so I don't know how it would work in a smaller tank.

Mine lives with a yellow clown goby and they don't bother each other...my midas is a swimmer or hangs in his hole.
