Midas blenny

[Fireworm]

Jesse's blenny is now in my over flow. hows come everything I put in my tank ends up in my overflow or sump. My black cucumber made it into my fuge. How the hell does that work out? Time to get some gutter guard and start to block off the rest of the tank...

LOL. I have a Yellow Coris Wrasse thats been in my overflow for about 3-4 months now. All fat and healthy. Im going to try to get him out this week though now that I gave the 6 line away.

 

[Fireworm]

I just got him out. I had to reach in there and just grab him.

 

[JCR's Reef]

Your lucky. I have to tear the overflow pipes out to be able to reach in there. But I just take the bulkhead off of the bottom and let him fall out into a bowl.

i think im going to go niger fishing, so when you see me with 4 fingers, youll know why

wish it was a little blenny to fish out

laughing at Cody....that Niger has some teeth to it, you may need steel mesh gloves.

Phil the midas blenny is a jumper, I lost my first one to carpet surfing. The one I have now swims all over and hopefully doesn't jump. I would seriously consider getting some gutter guard for your overflow.

I had to read this twice...

 

[xXch0dyXx]

well my fishing trip was unsuccesful, and i did have to flick the sucker in the nose a few times when he came at me. he is a smart bastard. he wont come near a net, clear tub, but he will let me push him or scratch him with my cleaning scraper

i had him in my net once, but the net isnt even as wide as him, so i failed and need a bigger net

 

[Fireworm]

I have a big net cody. Also have a landing net in the garage if that will work

 

[xXch0dyXx]

i tried to call you after work phil, u no answer

 

[Fireworm]

I didn't get home from Indy till almost 6 then had to leave again.

Finally got the midas to eat tonight.

What did you feed your Midas Phil? I got one saturday and am getting concerned because he still hasn't eaten. I know Klaus just got them a week ago today and they originally come from Africa so he probably has a bit of jet lag. He sits on the rock and watches what's going on but has yet to participate. Any ideas?

 

[azpharmd1]

Mine finally ate some brine shrimp today. Yeah!

My black cucumber made it into my fuge.

I had my black cucumber (aka: Turd) disappear for a while, like weeks. I found him about one inch long in a canister filter that was shut off for who knows how long (pump quit working). Crazy that Turd was even still alive. I put him back in the display tank and he's doing well.

Just thought I'd share.
