Hungry Blenny - Aquarium Advice

Hi. I have a lawn mower Blenny but he's running low on food. 24 gallon nanocube and he's eaten everything in sight. Starting to get skinny and I'm afraid he's gonna starve. Any advice?

That`s one of the problems with getting livestock to take care of algea problems is that they end up starving. Try some dried seaweed and see if it helps.

Thanks Mike, I'll try that. If it doesn't work I guess he's going back to the lfs.

Also supposedly soaking food in garlic stimulates feeding.

Sorry, I don't understand what you mean by that. Soaking what kind of food?

Soak whatever food you feed in garlic oil or they even have some garlic products out there in the aquarium trade.

My lawn mower takes the dry medium pellets! I was lucky that I did not need to encourage him to do it (soak in garlic). I have him in a 14g tank. The other think I find he eats is a muscle (shell fish). I place it at the bottom of the tank and away he goes.
