im wondering how often blenny pairs come up in the hobby- im looking for ideally a mated pair of midas blennies- and wondering if anyone has this or info- i can look on live aquaria for the next 10 years if need be but would be nice if someone had some insight into this type of thing

thanks

matt
 
for something like this, I would try to actually call around and see if anybody can bring them in for you. I do not think I have ever seen a pair of Midas Blennies on Diver's Den.
 
not sure who to call on something like this - i would travel to louisville,nashville,indianapolis, st louis if need be but i have no clue who to contact any ideas>?

local fish stores in my town are a no go

if i did call around-- how would i know they just didn't throw two together and when i get home they go nuts on each other?
 
The problem is that most vendors won't want to take the risk of putting two blennies of the same species into the same tank to test pairs. They'd lose money since a number would be killed off or fail or just be a waste of time. It is possible to pair Midas blennies; I've seen it on a breeding website. Again, the problem will be cost since that species is much more expensive than, say, a bicolor blenny.

I think it would be sweet to have a pair of Midas blennies. You'd want to check with people who've done this before - who knows whether they may become very aggressive once they start spawning? (MOFIB or MBI websites are good sources).

If you have a friendly LFS that will let you fool around a bit, ask to try pairing blennies in their tanks. Just remember that bicolors are much cheaper than Midases when you may have to buy 4.
 
I've read about them on mofib and they seems to be pretty peaceful with each other- also read that tailspots come up on diver den sometimes- guess ill call live aquaria and see what they say- thanks for the input guys

I might settle for tailspot pair if I couldn't get the midas pair but I've always loved midas blennies more then the tailspots so I'm trying for them first
