Blue Midas Blenny

[canadianeh]

Is it normal? Does it exist? Rare item? Never seen one in blue. They are usually yellow.

Are they worth $25?

 

[CrayolaViolence]

Do you have a photo? It could just be mis identified.

 

[CrayolaViolence]

A quick google search says they are real and fairly uncommon.

 

[CrayolaViolence]

Considering the common yellow ones are listed for 44 bucks on LA, I'd say 25 for a sport is a good deal. But again, I'd post a picture. It seems to me it would be odd for someone to sell a rare fish so cheap.

Your fish store has blue Midas blennies listed for 45.50

Will post pic later. It looka exactly like the gold one with gold line on his face and swim like an eel

Um, pretty sure that's a fork tail blenny, not a blue blenny.

 

[CrayolaViolence]

could be a bi, or Caribbean, but I'm relatively sure it's not a blue. All the photos I can find of them they are pretty solid in color. And very, very, very bright blue.

mine also swim like an eel.

 

[CrayolaViolence]

Like I said, could be a number of different kinds. Blue blennies, from the photos I can find, are pretty blue.

 

[CrayolaViolence]

I'm pretty sure most long bodied fish, blennies, swim like eels.

Flame tail
