sad day

[54seaweed]

was rearranging corals today to find my lawn mower blenny dead , strange part he came out this morn for feeding , I had him almost 6 years no signs of any one picking on him , I know for a fact he didn't starve as he ate like a pig,
he even had a bellie like me he is going to be missed , I'll have to get me another just hope he has as good a personality he did ,

Sorry about your blenny.
My lawn mower was my wifes favorite.
They are such great fish!

Sorry about losing your Lawnmower; what an accomplishment though to have had him for six great years. I have kept them before, they are indeed cute little guys!

Lawnmowers are odd things. Sorry it happened, but this isn't the first mystery death like this I've read about. After 6 years I'm sure old age kicked in. The one in my tank I've been saying for the longest time he's a goner, but just never happens. Sometimes they just starve even when they are eating and there is plenty to eat.

my puffers looking all over the rocks for him this morn , they were best buds, they always swam around together ,

So sorry for the loss of your blenny. Hurts to lose one of our critters.

I was kind of down this morn as he wasn't there to greet me when I turned on the blues

 

[Autumnsky]

Sorry to hear this. That is a great age for a fish like that. They are so darn cute. Hoping your new one will be as fun and spunky, and match your personality!

 

[AquaTricia]

Yeah, I take roll call as soon as my feet hit the ground every morning. So far, I must be doing something right. And, as is what happened to you, you could turn your back and they'd be gone. I'm so sorry.

thinking old age took him

I think that could definitely be it, 54seaweed. I just looked up their lifespan in people's tanks and it brought me to a Canadian aquarium forum. The most popular option selected in the poll there was "1-2 years." I would you say you did a great job in keeping him alive for his lifespan!
