Hello,
I’ve had my lovely little lawnmower Blenny CCooba for around 10 months now.
But that’s the thing, they’re still little.
I got them tiny, maybe 1 inch. They’ve only grown to just shy of 2 inches. I’m concerned with their nutrition.

Online sources say they should top out at their 6 inches in a year or two, but I don’t think mine is on schedule.

It always has a full belly, (very full), and goes for everything I feed the tank with. Frozen mysis, live or prepared copepods, pellets, flakes, and nori.

Is there a step I’m missing? Is it stunted from being in a 55 gal? Any advice helps. I love the little sucker to death.

Here’s a picture of it in my Chalice.

They'll be fine. It sound like they have a good environment, and a good diet. It'll probably grow up within the next year or two, and if not, you just have a small specimen.
