Heartbroken About my Midas Blenny

losaeyang · Oct 12, 2024

I got a midas blenny last week and it quickly became my favorite fish. Since the fish was quarantine at the LFS, I drip acclimated and got it into the display. The fish was very active and ate alot. I even noticed it coloring back to normal after the second day. I didn't notice anything until this morning when it didn't jump out to eat. I found it breathing heavy on the sandbed and turned transparent brown with cloudy eyes. It was too late for me to do anything and I watched it pass. I've no idea how it was fine one day and gone the next. I justed wanted to post something as I did not think losing a fish would sadden me this much.

Note: I have a yellow coris and two clowns in the tank for the last 6 months and no issues with them.

Yeah fish deaths hit hard. For me at least. Sorry about the midas
