What to feed lawnmower blenny?

[roadrashpaul]

I fully know these fish need algae to eat. I basically rescued this fish from someone's tank and I don't have a lot of algae. Will it eat Norri strip if I put it on the bottom? Doesn't seem to come out to eat shrimp or flake? Any advice?

Idk I've never feed mine and he's so fat he has to lay on his side. If he dose get hungry enough I'm sure he well chase some flakes or a piece of nori under a rock

 

[roadrashpaul]

Yeah this one is really fat as well. I might be worrying too much but just wanted to see if anyone has any advice.

You really don't have to feed him, they will eat algae from all over the tank. U kind of don't want them to eat the food you out so they keep eating the algae!

Mine swims around the nori all day and never touches it. It does eat everything else that is fed o the tank. He eats veggie rounds from omega one.

Mine never touched any prepared foods or algae sheets and unfortunately starved in my 55. What size tank do you have?

 

[roadrashpaul]

My tank is a 125g. Put some Norri strip on the bottom and he ate it. So I think it will be all good. Thanks for the help guys.

Ok, then I would probably not be too worried either, especially in a 125.

Mine will eat just about anything I feed my other fish. He eats algae off the rocks/glass as well. He is very comical when I feed, he perches on a rock and rolls his eyes around looking for food. Then he'll slightly hover and dart after it. He is so FAT!
