Can I get a Lawnmower Blenny ??? - Aquarium Advice

c0mf0rt · 11-20-2004, 03:06 AM

I'm tired of watching snails and the occasional hermit die.... I was thinking maybe I would get a LM blenny to fill the gap.... I've already got a psycho goby and a good sized pink spotted.... I was wondering if the blenny would have any problems with these two?????

I just Picked a LM Blenny up myself. Very cool fish. I have a ton of algea on the back wall of my tank. He already went to work on it.

I have a shrimp Goby and they seem fine together.

If you do get one make sure that he is eating. The one I picked up was in the [acronym:b1dbf7ae6e="Local Fish Store"]LFS[/acronym:b1dbf7ae6e] for almost 2 months and was a fat pig. I was told at the [acronym:b1dbf7ae6e="Local Fish Store"]LFS[/acronym:b1dbf7ae6e] some LM go on hunger strikes and starve to death.

I think you would be OK. Want to second El Diablo's remark about seeing them eat at the [acronym:852376023a="Local Fish Store"]LFS[/acronym:852376023a]. I lost my first one in [acronym:852376023a="quarantine or quart depending on context"]QT[/acronym:852376023a] due to it not eating. The one I have now is a fat cow,

he eats everything and does a great job on the algae.
