African Midas Blenny

[Indermark]

I am looking at purcahsing this fish and would like to know anyones experience with them. I have two fish i'm worried about mixing the midas with the first is my Red scooter blenny (dragonet) . The Second is my lawnmower blenny. For some reason I don't think the Two blennys will get along.

GREAT fish!


I had one (died ) and I absolutely LOVED it.
Great personality, very social and follwed me around the entire room when I walked in the room!



Go for it!



The only thing I've heard is that they don't do so good with firefish gobies. But that is not every fish!

Everything I've read about Blennies suggests that they don't do well with similarly shaped fish. So, two different Blenny species might conflict. Suggest you do some research before buying another Blenny.

Great fish and I dont see any proplems keeping one with the Scooter or the LMB.
Ive had mine for almost a year and got some mixed reports about aggression problems with them when I did my research but have found them to be not true in my case.
I dont have any scooters or dragonettes but I had a LMB for 17 months till he died this past Sunday. Never any problems between the two.
I assume he is going in your 75 and not the nano, then by all means go for it. Mine is one of my favorite additions.

Midas Blenny is a planktivore. Your LMB and RSB aren't. They'll get along fine. Feeding a Midas Blenny is similar to feeding Anthias- you'll need to provide it with a continuous supply of food in the water column.
