Midas Blenny

[kjamaya]

I bought a Midas Blenny 2 days ago and was skeptical if in fact it was, as the blenny was stressed....

Yesterday I was feeding my fishes and the blenny swam out ate and was swimming around. She did have some yellow but she also had a black line from right below her dorsal fin, the middle of her body is light pinkish/reddish with some black marking and the bottom of her tail is black....

I am assuming that not all Midas Blennies are the same but I haven't seen this color variation before.

 

What you think? I will post photos later tonight.

Submit your photos for comparison.

 

Thanks,

They do change their color temp if they are stressed or still adjusting to your tank. I've had the midas blenny for 1 year. It did the same color scheme that you mentioned.

Looks like a midas to me.... I seen several in different colors.

I think the color is different based on which part of the world it came from.

This is what I wanted to know.. So if this is true I want to know where she came from.

Yep its a true midas... plus she looks young... they tend to develop 'heavier' colors as they get older... less opaque looking...
