dstoneburg Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 I have a lawnmower blenny who is not doing all that great in my tank because I have no algae :(. I have had him for a few months, I QT'ed him and he is disease free. He is skinny but is 100% disease free. He is free to a good home with some hair algae that he can munch on. Call me at (541)221-1016. First come first serve, hope to get him to someone tonight. He needs some algae! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dsoz Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 Get some NORI, and see if he eats off of it. It could be the difference between lasting two days or not. dsoz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael7979 Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 Get some NORI, and see if he eats off of it. It could be the difference between lasting two days or not. dsoz Ifthe nori doesn't work. Mine will eat flake as did my last one. I know not alot of good in flake food but anything helps, try spirolina flakes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dstoneburg Posted January 23, 2009 Author Share Posted January 23, 2009 I do put nori on a clip, he won't touch it now :(. He used to eat pellets but won't go for those either. He never has touched flakes. You got some algae over there curtis? If so Ill bring him by tonight and also setup those games for you.

downhill_biker Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 i've got plenty of algae. it covers the entire back of my tank. i just dont know about him with all the other fish. my tangs tend to be kindof aggressive toward new fish, and the other lawnmower may be aggressive too. maybe you should call one of the LFS and find out.

Michael7979 Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 That sounds similar to what my last LMB did. Was a great fish for three years or so and then stopped eating all together. Sorry to say but he died about 5 days later. Does he seem lathargic and un-interested? That is what I went thru. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowpunk Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 Mine did this same thing also. Plenty of algae to eat, but he got slower and uninterested in even swimming let alone eating. He past on a week later. I placed nori, and flakes, both of which he used to eat but no go. I think he was just old. I hope yours makes it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry to say but he died about 5 days later. Does he seem lathargic and un-interested? That is what I went thru. Pretty much what has happened. I gave him to curtis and curtis tossed him into his sump, should be plenty of algae for him. I do think that this will give him his best chance.
