Midas Blenny

[paintballer768]

Hey everybody. Ive got a 24gallon reef tank, and am just about to buy fish. Tanks been running for about 5 months roughly without any inhabitants but a few hermits, snails, and a cleaner shrimp. I just placed an order with my LFS for a Midas Blenny and a Percula Clown.
I did my research and it should be ok, but I want to know people's experiences with these. Good? Bad? Thank you!

I love em. I had one for about a year but he croaked. I really think you’ll enjoy him.
Good luck man.

I want one.

Haven't tried one yet. Will when I get my 240g up and going.

Cool. He doesnt hide in the rocks too much or anything? I really would like him to be visible because his colors are so nice.

If you have an open top tank, its a good chance he will jump out, but they are great fish.

Midas is an excellent leaper, and as Puffer indicated, it is a must to have a covered tank. They are very colorful and have lots of personality. He will hide initially (3-4 days), but then will be quite active IMO.

Yea my aquapod's got a full covered hood so I dont need to worry. Glad the fish seems to have positive feedback

I have one in my 12 gallon aquapod, and it is my favoite fish!!!!
It brings sooooooo much life to my tank, and swims to the frront of the glass when ever I come close to the tank!
I would tel anyone- GET ONE!!!!!

They are very personable fish. I'm sure he will be great in there!

Awesome stuff. Tank is waiting for em. Maybe pics once he's in and if I can find the camera.

i have one and he swims about half the time. the other half he is perched on a rock or coral or something watching us. he is very cool and pretty.
