Physical characteristics and behavior
The Ecsenius midas, often known as the Midas blenny, has two anal spines, 19–21 dorsal soft rays, and 13–14 dorsal spines. The 20–23 range are the anal soft rays. With a dark edge running along the anterior portion of the dorsal fin and a black spot around the anus, this fish is golden orange in color. The color of the Indonesian language can range from gray to greenish yellow to golden-yellow. Adults have a tail that is reasonably long.
As Pet
- Diet
Due to its omnivorous nature, the Golden or Midas Blenny can be fed a range of foods. They can eat everything they want, including freeze-dried worms and algae as well as diced flesh and vitamin-enriched meals. Additionally, they enjoy food, whether it is frozen or living, and they consume quickly. It is advised that they be fed several times during the day as a result.
- Tank Size
This blenny will benefit from a minimum tank size of 30 gallons or more, as well as lots of rocks for perching. The Midas Blenny occasionally annoys small planktivores and has been known to nip at gobies and firefish.
- Water Conditions
Their habitat has a constant pH of 8.1-8.4 and a hardness range of 8-12 dH, with temperatures between 73 and 84 degrees Fahrenheit (23-28 degrees Celsius).
- Midas Tank decoration
A Midas blenny’s favourite pastime is searching for their next meal by examining rock formations. You are already aware of their disinterest in swimming. You should focus your décor efforts on creating the best climbing structures. The ideal material for caves, ledges, and fissures is live rock. Additionally, it will serve as a useful “reservoir” of food for your blennies.
- Tank Companions
Angelfish, Anthias, Boxfish, Butterflyfish, Cardinalfish, Clownfish, Damselfish and Filefish.
