Scooter blenny

[Chunky94]

I got a scooter blenny, the description at the pet store said it eats regular fish food/mysis pretty much what I feed my clowns. I know i should research before buying instead of after but I see online that they are a dragonet and picky eaters, did I screwed up? he is eating bristle worms and other things he is finding in my sand that I can't see. Should I return him or do you think I can successfully keep him? My tanks a biocube 32 that's a little over 2 years old

If you have an established pod colony it will do fine, but yeah, they are not easy to care for and very picky eaters.

Pet store of course will tell you that they are easy eaters they want to make a profit. Only takes a couple seconds to do a google search.

How do I know if I have a colony of pods

Have you ever added pods or seen tiny little bugs on your glass? Your tank is pretty old so there's a good chance pods hitched hiked in on something.

I put pods from algae barn in but that was a while ago should I put more in to be safe
