mooric Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 I have a 2.5" Lawnmower Blenny that I purchased from RCA that has been slowly wasting away (getting scary thin now). I have tried pellets/nori sheets/frozen prepared herbivore/omnivore foods/ with garlic/without you name it. And he just sits there and watches....no reaction at all. I have a small amount of algae naturally occurring in my tank and he ignores that as well. Anyone have any tips on how I can get him to eat? TIA Charles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TIA Charles The only algae my Lawnmower is interested in is the coraline growing on the glass. Otherwise, he's crazy about Tetrafin tropical flakes.

DaJMasta Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 Maybe a leafy less-calciferous macro like ulva? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NonSequitur Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 Mine really like the gunk that grows on the glass, so I've had good luck leaving the back glass un-scraped. Mine also seem to like nutrafin flakes as well as formula two flakes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mooric Posted December 29, 2010 Author Share Posted December 29, 2010 Thanks for the ideas. I will try to pick up some flakes tomorrow. He's looking really bad tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
