Midas Blenny

[MarCal]

Can someone tell me why my Midas looks dark. I see other’s pics more yellow/golden. Is it because of it’s origin or it’s cos of lighting? TIA

It’s normal Midas blenny turn a bit dark when stressed so you need to find out the cause of the stress

Actually within a day or two, you should roughly know what you are getting.... For super bright orange, it may slowly turn to yellow. For dark yellow... My exp... It will stay that way...... Just beware they can jumper.... Mine... All jumped and died.... 

[MarCal]

Is there a price difference to the colour of the Blenny? Mine has been like that when I fish saw in shop. I thought it was stress like what BarelyHuman mentioned.

I do have netting over. But somehow a fire goby managed to jump thru and landed on top of net.

When they not stressful they will change back to orange color

For orange n golden yellow, it can be brown when stress and you will see white patches. However, if it is brown in nature, then it is likely stay that way. 

Yes, price does vary depending on the region and best place to get this fish is at the LFS at tampines. Cheapest n generally yellow n orange.

I didn't know. Was just happy to get myself one. But even mine is dark, it is just as pretty.

Yes. They are unique and tends to swim in open and active. A good choice. But beware, cos read somewhere there are  poison fangs blenny and not sure midas belongs to it or not.
