alexcyf Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 Hey guys. Gotten a midas blenny. A Fiji shipment. QT for a couple of days before releasing.. Eating well and all but it seems like her colour is still quite pale yellow. Has any bros out there have had midas who took quite a while to turn to deep yellow/orange and e blue streaks on e eyes? Here's a picture Quote Follow Alex's Reefing Journey @ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
veliferium Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 Midas Blenny hails from African shipments, not Fiji shipments. Sorry to burst your bubble bro, but that's a canary blenny, no Midas here.. Midas grow way larger than these and belongs to the Ecsenius sp. while canary belongs to a group called fang blennies, Meiacanthus sp. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member diki88 Posted July 30, 2013 SRC Member Share Posted July 30, 2013 Bro when did u take this pic? Cause ur zoas are closed and all, I assume lights just on and sometimes fishes would be pale when they just wake up as its their sleeping coloration. Plus it doesn't look like a midas to me. If thats not the case, so as long as its feeding well the blenny would return to its full colour. But tht means, u got to look for nudis among ur zoas.

alexcyf Posted July 30, 2013 Author Share Posted July 30, 2013 Ya lights are dim. Those zoas are very healthy. So no worries! I was really thinking that its not a midas too!! Gotta check with the LFS again who told me its midas. Already half doubt when I bought it.. Quote Follow Alex's Reefing Journey @ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

veliferium Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 Hope you didn't pay a "Midas" price! You could always let it go to another reefer:) In this hobby, we are always learning and me too have paid quite some "tuition" fee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRC Member Evolutionz Posted July 30, 2013 SRC Member Share Posted July 30, 2013 Sometimes it's not the shops fault. Supplier give them wrong fish, they don't know how to Id them so they also dunno they sold the wrong fish.

Sotong Ball Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 I also bought this fish (only now then know is not Midas). I did actually confirm with the shop before I buy, apparently the shop ID the fish wrongly. Sigh!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
