Thoughts on a yellow(golden)midas blenny

[bluebill]

The LFS has a golden midas blenny and I really like it and think it is quite unique. What are your opinions or your experiences. I have a 75 gal reef/fish. Only have a clown, cardinal, blue damsel(hopefully not for long) and a sandsifting gody with numerous corals(softies and lps)

Great fish but they like to jump. I gave up after the third one attempted jumped through the eggcrate. The last one was pretty territorial and would not let anything come near its cave, including my hand.

cool, thanks. I just think they are so different.

I wanted one for a while, and made myself wait till I had a mesh cover. I've never noticed it trying to jump, but having reassurance of the cover makes it a lot more enjoyable. I'm not looking for him every morning thinking he may have jumped out of the tank.

Also, none of my fish are even moderately aggressive; I'm sure this helps. That being said, this is a fantastic looking fish.

They have great personality - very fun to watch.

I've had one for a few months and never noticed it trying to jump, although I do have a mesh top to keep the wrasse in. They have a great personality, fun to watch, very peaceful, and will even follow you around the tank when it sees you. I'd say go for it!
