    I haven't actually seen one in person, only online, but fell in love with them! Well if you thought it was gorgeous....I think I'm going to go for it! I'll be ready for a new fish in a week or so. Hopefully I can find one!

    Midas Blennies Are Great

    I would strongly recommend Midas Blennies. They have a great personality and are fun to watch. Blessed with blue eyes, long tails, and an eel-like swimming style, they are really beautiful. Make sure you have lots of holes or caves for them to call home. Also make sure that you don't have any really aggressive fish in your tank. Midas Blennies swim everywhere and territorial fish, like damsels or some clowns, may cause problems for them.

    Overall, a great tank fish. Mine is named Mojo. :)

    let me know how it goes! i'm still trying to decide on getting one, as i'm worried that it would nip at the dartfish that i plan to add also worry about wrasse as they sleep in the sand. And make sure you take pics, i would love to see

    Well now I'm trying to decide between a yellow watchman goby and a midas blenny. But when I do decide I will definitely let you guys know and take pictures!

    I compromised and got a yellow clown goby and a midas blenny, the clown goby only grows to an inch or so and is very active. The midas doesn't mess with the little goby, as some folks have said they may do. If you check my tank thread, you can see pics of the blenny in the DT, after six weeks of QT. Have fun picking out your new fish!!
