    I am probably going to get a Midas but would prefer the nice yellow ones.
    I understand some change colors but also seems there's the peach type that never really turn full yellow.
    LA has so many .. Fiji, maldives , indo , African ect.. can't find any info on which is which.

    All the Midas blennys we have ordered just turn brownish when there a little stressed or new but after they get acclimated they get there nice yellow color, Same thing with my Midas blenny, so imo I would just buy one and feed it well and it should color up good.

    It could take a little while but with good foods it should color up good.

    Get one. I love mine. Very active swimmer. Adds a nice bright yellow. When it gets scared, it hides in its hole in some rock and blends in by turning a brownish color. Can hardly see him unless you knew it was there. Great addition, go for it.

    The "best" yellow ones are supposed to come from Africa, which is where I got mine from.
