Midas Blenny

[alexcyf]

Hey guys. Gotten a midas blenny. A Fiji shipment. QT for a couple of days before releasing.. Eating well and all but it seems like her colour is still quite pale yellow. Has any bros out there have had midas who took quite a while to turn to deep yellow/orange and e blue streaks on e eyes?

Here's a picture

Midas Blenny hails from African shipments, not Fiji shipments.

Sorry to burst your bubble bro, but that's a canary blenny, no Midas here..

Midas grow way larger than these and belongs to the Ecsenius sp. while canary belongs to a group called fang blennies, Meiacanthus sp.

Bro when did u take this pic? Cause ur zoas are closed and all, I assume lights just on and sometimes fishes would be pale when they just wake up as its their sleeping coloration. Plus it doesn't look like a midas to me.

If thats not the case, so as long as its feeding well the blenny would return to its full colour. But tht means, u got to look for nudis among ur zoas.

Be careful, canary blennies have venomous bites.

Ya lights are dim. Those zoas are very healthy. So no worries! I was really thinking that its not a midas too!! Gotta check with the LFS again who told me its midas. Already half doubt when I bought it..

[alexcyf]

Grrrr now feeling really stupid. Knew e shape was a little different n it's missing e eye lashes then.. But e uncle told me its midas..

please let us know which shop is it. not honest

[alexcyf]

Nah.. I will see if anything is done when I go back next time.. Don't wanna spoil e reputation jus becuz of a single error.

[Evolutionz]

Sometimes it's not the shops fault. Supplier give them wrong fish, they don't know how to Id them so they also dunno they sold the wrong fish.

[Sotong Ball]

I also bought this fish (only now then know is not Midas). I did actually confirm with the shop before I buy, apparently the shop ID the fish wrongly. Sigh!!!

[alexcyf]

yea. Just hope that they are able to compensate in some ways or another. Msg them but no reply yet.

[alexcyf]

Shop owner replied! Agreed to give me a very good compensation package! Thumbs up! Really nice gesture! Sotong bro! PM if u wanna noe more k?
