How to plump up lawnmower blenny

[aqualov3r]

hav a 2.5 inch lawnmower in a 13 bio cube... There's no much excess algae for him to graze on... He looks pretty thin, what should I give him?

 

[haleyf1024]

I would try nori sheets attached to a rock, spirulina flakes, or New Era Algae grazers (my favorite)

Sometimes lawnmower blennies are reluctant to feed in captivity. Varied algae based offerings are the best bet to get him eating.

 

[aqualov3r]

Alright, hopefully he eats it

I got mine for a hair algea problem he Def cleaned it up but once it was gone all he would eat was algea sheets for 2 months and not much he finally seen the other fish eating frozen enough now he eats anything I put in the tank

I feed my other fish with frozen in that tank but wen I giv them the food, he doesn't move... I didn't kno if there was a trick?

I wish I have your problem. Mine ignors the algae and fight for the reef frenzy with my wrasses.

Ya I haven't had much luck with any seaweed sheets in the past with the seaweed clip and all...the seaweed n algae sheets are the same thing right?

Nori Sheets, Formula 2 Flakes, or try some various herbivore blends of frozen foods?

I actually just tried feeding with a frozen cube called emerald entree but he didn't go for anything, my clowns, and the others ate it right up... They're pigs

Try some Rods or Reef Frenzy herbivore blends if you can find it locally?

I'm actually going to my local saltwater store soon so I'll see wat they got

 

[KorL]

My lawnmower blenny would eat pellets and frozen

 

[aqualov3r]

Ya gonna see if the store has the pellets

Why don't you try getting some macro algae? Species like Gracilaria sp. are generally palatable to herbivores. If you got a frag of that, he might eat some.

Algae wafers, once it hits the water our LawnB chases and eats it.
