This humorous fish can be found most of the time poking its head out of various holes in the rocks or peeking out of empty shells. Similar in behavior to some Jawfish and Gobies, however these Blennies do not create their own burrows. Instead, they simply find any hole they can fit into and feel safe. This Blenny actually feeds more on zooplankton than algae. |

The Midas Blenny (Ecsenius midas) belongs to the family named Blenniidae. Typically reaching a max size of about 3.8 inches in length, the Midas Blenny is generally passive in nature and hardy in stamina. It's more active during the daytime and less at night, and will hang out or do best in the rock structures. According to FishDB current data, captive breeding success is unreported and there are no external signs of sexual differences. Ecsenius midas should not be housed in a tank less than 20 gallons in size. Tank parameters should be maintained with ph level between 8.1 - 8.3, temperature between 77 - 79 degrees fahrenheit, and a salinity between 1.020 - 1.023. Some of the environmental concerns that you should strive to replicate in your home aquaria to promote succesful acclimation include plenty of hiding places.
