What does a Forktail Blenny eat? - Aquarium Advice

**roka64** · 05-16-2006, 09:41 PM

I fed the tank frozen food and he ate that. I fed flakes tonight and he didn't eat at all.
Question:
1. Will he eat food off the bottom?

Another thing, he hovers over the LR and then darts in, maybe to eat something off of it?

Please help.

Thanks!

Thanks, I saw that, I'll be heading to the grocery store. Was just wondering if anyone get them to eat flakes....On that note, does anyone soak their flakes in vitamins, or does it make them disintegrate?

I have a midas blenny that eats flakes and anything else, for that matter. Had a canary that wouldn't do flakes.

Cool, thanks! Did your canary pick at the LR?

Nah.

Betcha yours would go for some brine or myisis soaked in garlic and zoe!

He does love that! I also soak in Selcon. Only thing, I feed that every other feeding....Maybe I'll try the flakes, soaked in garlic....
