I've have a midas blenny in a 30 gallon tank for at least a month. He was doing really great in it. But all of a sudden he just stop eating, he just stays in his own little hole and never comes out. What should I do?!

What else is in your tank? Sounds like something is stressing him out. When they are stressed out they hide in the rock.
What are you feeding him?

You may want to feed him more variety, flakes, try pellets and then a larger variety of frozen foods. Also you can try soaking the mysis in fresh garlic juice.

I feed mine a variety of frozen foods. Soaking in garlic is a good idea. All of my fish like it. I use Marine Cuisine, Emerald Entree, Formula 1 & 2. I hope he will be okay. Mine is my favorite fish, & he is always swimming about. I would worry if he wasn't. Is your water quality good? Is he looking thin or sickly?

my midas did the same thing.....I had him for a year or so, but when I added a goldrim tang who relentlessly harrassed him into starvation.....but you may want to check your water parameters. Good luck

i have had my midas for about 2 months now. When I got him, he hide in his new home, and stayed there after only offering mysis.
When i used garlic and flakes, frozen, and dried he has now been out all the time!
Good luck!
