Lawnmower blennie thin

[Franna29]

Hi MASA
I have a lawnmower blennie and it looks like it might be starving.. what can I feed it?

 

[Dexter]

It feeds on algae....maybe try and get a rock with GHA and put it in your tank. I had a bi-colour blenny before that was eating nori. Not sure if the lawnmowers will eat nori.

It should eat nori

Mine is mad about dried seaweed. I feed it on a clip and hes a regular visitor.

 

[Maddy]

My blenny ate freshwater algae wafers. He loved it. I just through 2 or 3 in everyday and he was fine with that after he cleaned up all the algae in the tank.

 

[Franna29]

I tried feeding ocean nutrition green marine algae. And i have lots of green hair algae for him to feed on. That is why I got him. My back panel has lots left.

Might have worms, perhaps treat for that

 

[Franna29]

How?

Never dewormed fish myself, but this may help:

Guys, does anyone have a way to de-worm my blennie that will not cost me n liver and kidney?

 

[SterlingAce]

Try macro algae, mine eats that, and mysis, even tetra bits.

have you tried other food before de-worming? two weeks and he's still alive...

 

[madmatt]

If I'm not mistaking you use FOCUS for internal infection or parasites.
Maybe someone could just confirm

not yet.. end of the month I will get formula 1 vegetarian flakes hopefully he eats that..

have tried nori with no luck.
will try catching him this week end and put him in my qt so I can only give him the food and all my other fish does not eat it instead.
nori dipped in entice. hope that works.

My blenny eats just about anything but I noticed that he particularly like ocean nutrition sinking formula 2 pellrts as well as tetra prime pellrts which is actually discus food but most of my saltwater fish like to eat it

I have the exact same problem. I've tried nori, garlic algae, frozen foods, pellets , flakes and he won't touch a thing and just getting thinner by the day
