Midas Gets Bullied

[Tati]

I got 4 Midas in my tank couple of months back. Initially it was supposed to b 2 in mine and 2 in my friend’s tank. But due to the technical issue they didn’t reach my friend and were introduced together and stayed in my tank. 2of them were bigger and 2smaller in size. Since that day one of the smaller ones started loosing weight and now is super-skinny. I kept her in separate ‘cage’ of the tank thinking the might b sick, but she got healthier and put some weight on so I released her back.
And now she is incredibly skinny (she eats with the rest during feeding times) and today I saw the biggest Midas actually attacking/bullying her.
Is there anything I can do in ur opinion to stop it?
I dont want her to die and keeping her in a separate small plastic box inside the tank doesn’t seem fair to me..
Just want to hear different opinions and possible advises.
Thnx a lot in advance

Put the Bigger one in timeout for awhile then reintroduce in a few days/wk. If that doesn't work you may have to home the bully somewhere else..

I've actually never heard of anyone keeping more than one so not sure how that'll work out long term

but there's a guy.. that might know a thing or two about fish.. @eatbreakfast

Ecsenius blennies can be aggressive & territorial, Even more so with each other. What size tank are you keeping them in? Safest bet, rehome the larger one

The tank is 650ltrs...
will try to put the big one in a confinement and reintroduce in a bit. If not working... rejoining it is ((

Often multiple midas blennies don't work out longterm. I would anticipate them whittling themselves down to one or 2 specimens. I would recommend rehoming some.
