Midas Blenny Blue Ecsenius Midas

Overview: The Midas Blenny Blue, scientifically known as Ecsenius Midas, is a captivating addition to any marine aquarium. Known for its vibrant blue color and elongated body, this species brings both beauty and dynamic behavior to the aquatic environment. It grows to an average length of about 4 to 5 inches, making it a perfect fit for medium to large-sized tanks.

Origin: This mesmerizing fish is primarily found in the Indo-Pacific region, from the Red Sea to the eastern coasts of Africa and the Persian Gulf. It thrives in coral-rich areas and rocky crevices, where it can often be seen peeking out or swiftly darting back into hiding.

Feeding: The Midas Blenny Blue is an omnivore with a preference for meaty foods. It thrives on a diet consisting of mysis shrimp, brine shrimp, and other prepared marine foods. It’s also beneficial to include marine algae and vegetable-based foods to provide a balanced diet.

Tank Mates: This species is generally peaceful and can coexist with a wide variety of other fish. Ideal tank mates include other peaceful community fish such as clownfish, damselfish, and cardinalfish. However, care should be taken to avoid housing with overly aggressive species or those that might view the Midas Blenny as prey.

Aggression: While largely peaceful, the Midas Blenny can display territorial behaviors towards its own kind or similarly shaped fish. It’s recommended to keep only one per tank unless the aquarium is large enough to accommodate multiple territories.

Experience Level: The Midas Blenny is suitable for aquarists of all levels, from beginners to experts. Its care requirements are straightforward, making it an excellent choice for those new to marine aquarium keeping, provided that stable water conditions are maintained.

Water Parameters: To ensure the health and vibrancy of the Midas Blenny Blue, maintain the following water conditions:

  • Temperature: 72-78°F (22-26°C)
  • pH: 8.1-8.4
  • Salinity: 1.020-1.025 SG
  • Ammonia/Nitrite: 0
  • Nitrate: <20 ppm

Regular water changes and monitoring of water parameters are essential to keep this stunning fish thriving in its aquatic home. The Midas Blenny Blue is not just a fish; it’s a dazzling addition that brings life and color to any marine aquarium.
