    You could try melafix. Its safe for inverts etc - its basically tea tree oil. Good for bacterial infections.

    You Midas looks a bit skinny - try feeding him more.

    Lmao, he is skinny because he is ill, like i stated he's looking gaunt, the other fish are fat, i feed them frozen foods twice a day while trying to fight a cyano outbreak, so thanks for the Pointer.

    I do have melafix will try it

    Well my midas blenny was sick for 2 weeks, i treated him in the dt, with melafix and garlic soaked food, not sure of his disease, but as stated earlier he looked very lethargic and gaunt, skinny, even though the other fish were fat, he actively came and ate food every time i fed, so strangely he still had a appetite, anyway he passed away today so i disposed of him accordingly, he had been in there from the beginning 1 year, my first and favourite fish, R.I.P....
