Midas Blenny

RockOn681 · 09/21/2016, 02:28 PM

I have looked most places I can think of and keep being a day or two behind any stores having them in stock. Anyone see any lately at any stores in the area?

Thanks

I've been on a couple of wait lists for weeks at my LFSs. They seem to be in short supply lately.

I'm pretty sure I saw one at Old Orchard Aquarium last week.

RockOn681 · 09/22/2016, 10:28 AM

No luck at Old Orchard, any other sightings?

cubbyman60 · 09/22/2016, 10:24 PM

Sorry. I swear I saw one. Might have sold.

Bulldog0407 · 09/26/2016, 11:26 AM

Aquatica in Tinley?

How much are Midas Benny's typically at your lfs
?

chgoblknazn · 09/27/2016, 11:26 AM

Best Fish usually has at least one.

there's 1 on CR for sale

cubbyman60 · 10/12/2016, 12:00 AM

Ever find one. Again, I was at Old Orchard Aquarium this weekend and they had at least two.

RockOn681 · 10/12/2016, 10:10 AM

thanks for the update, I called and they have one left. They refuse to hold it for me (understandable) and refuse to tell me the cost on the phone which I have never heard of a store doing before, I know what they ballpark sell for which isn't a terrible price. I will try running there today, but not sure I will make it or not in all reality.

I wouldn't set foot in a store that wouldn't give me a price over the phone.

fishyfish22 · 10/12/2016, 10:54 AM

Yeah that's kind of shady...

maidia · 10/12/2016, 11:21 AM

Don't waiste time to go that store..price is damn high...I saw Midas all the time at Underwater World in Bensenville and 7 Seas at Mount Prospect IL.

RockOn681 · 10/12/2016, 02:06 PM

I agree, I wont waste 45 min driving each way to find out what a price is and if it is too high leave empty handed, I would rather find it elsewhere from a more reasonable shop.

Is there a local fish store which properly quarantine their fish before offering them for sale?
