So picked up a lawnmower Blenny as my first first in my newly cycled tank. I have attempted to feed him both frozen brine shrimp and Nori but I can’t seem to catch him eating either. I have my nori clipped maybe a little to high but I didn’t think it was an issue.
Is there any other food people...
As the first fish in my tank I was steered towards getting a lawnmower blenny. I’ve seen online that some people feed them frozen brine shrimp although i understand that they are herbivores. I kept this in mind when buying.
Picked him up and the guy at the store told me that they feed him...
I saw that fish online, and it sometimes appears at LFS'. From what i know it's just more colorful relative of a lawnmower (salarias fasciatus), that is smaller. If so, it must appear in the tanks more often, but i see only a few threads(two of which are mine) on english, german and polish...
Alright guys, thoughts on this stock list for a 75 gallon?
- mandarin goby/dragonet
- molly miller blenny
- pair of ocellaris clowns
- possum wrasse
- flasher wrasse (linespot)
- ruby head fairy wrasse
- melanurus wrasse (or other Haliochores of similar size) - unsure about this one
I was looking to get a blenny for this aquarium and was wondering which would have the most personality? I heard that Midas blennys usually are very active swimmers. Additionally, are there any other colorful, or personality, or active fish that you would reccomend for this aquarium that I...
Hello, an online retailer sold the blenny below as a bicolor blenny. I'm very attached to this little guy, he has a great personality but he doesn't match any pictures of a bicolor blenny. Any idea what species this guy is? Thanks for any information!

Hi all,
I have a bi-color blenny who has been in my tank about 1.5 years and has always done well. He eats well--film algae off glass, nori sheets, and some frozen mysis. This morning, I woke up and saw him with this massive belly, and some pressure that seems to be pushing his bladder or...
Help! My daughter purchased a Lawnmower Blenny for my birthday to replace my previous one that went missing and never reappeared. Since being introduced, he’s been very territorial towards my existing goby. Will this behavior continue or can it be reasonably expected to go away? My display is 75...

Hi, I have a Fluval Evo 5. The tank has been running for about 6-7 months now, absolutely no issues until now. I had a pike blenny and a elongate dottyback (too small of a tank and overstocked, I know, was planning on moving them to a 16 gallon) until both vanished one day. I pulled apart the...
Caught my Blenny red handed picking at my Duncan, so I guess that means I have to get rid of this guy, very disheartening as I’ve grown to love him. What other fish would you guys recommend to replace him? I have a 30 gallon with a clown, firefish, and a bg chromis.
After cruising the internet looking for solutions to hair algae, I came across the seemingly magic solution known as blennies, and then realized there's dozens of varieties that all seem to be their own fish. As with everything in the hobby, there's no perfect fish, so I imagine there's pros and...
Unsure what to call this or how to describe it other than it looks like the skin is shedding. Literally no other weird behavior and is eating well. It’s had it for a few months now and nothing has happened. It doesn’t change at all, stays looking like the photos.
thoughts?
Hey all!
I recently bought a lawnmower blenny for my nano (20g) tank, to curb some early algae growth. The tank is a month old now, started fully with live rock, and it’s other inhabitants include two clowns, one banded shrimp, and a few snails. All water parameters are stable and in line.
The...
Hello all!
So I have a striped fangblenny, and he’s always done great. However he often gets injuries on his face, and I’m not sure what it could possibly be. I believed maybe he was flashing due to flukes, and I did two rounds of prazi. The injuries are still appearing though. They’re always...
Hello all. So I have an incredibly weird question. I just purchased a Flametail Blenny, and I want to begin quarantine with him, specifically tank transfer method. Unfortunately, this Blenny absolutely loves his shell. To catch him, my LFS literally just put their hand in, and grabbed the shell...

Hello all,
So in one of my tanks, I have two fish who I have seen flash: a blenny and a fang blenny. A while back my tanks got ich (Very visible ich too), and all fish were flashing like crazy and I quarantined all fish. All fish underwent 30 days of copper, and then an additional 60 days of...
I’ve read in the past that blenny and goby shouldn’t be together, however recently I have read that as they occupy different space they get along fine?
Any experiences/suggestions?
I have plenty of live rock, caves, holes, ledges and areas that break apart the whole tank.
If this could work...
Looking for stocking suggestions! Ultimately want to add a bit more action to the tank...

As the title says, I have a tailspot blenny that was being harassed by my starry blenny pretty consistently for about 4 days. I removed the starry blenny yesterday morning, as I noticed the aggression was not calming down. Today, (it’s late afternoon for me) I come home to the tailspot dead :(...

Hello,
Our Bi-color Blenny has been looking increasingly thin over the last month or two. We’ve had him since Feb 2022, Wild caught from our LFS. He had already been there a couple of weeks and was doing good. We’ve been dealing with some other issues in the tank and didn’t realize how bad it...
Hello. going through my options for a third fish. Hopefully a blenny/goby can help out a bit with my GHA. Is a tailspot blenny okay in a tank this size ?
there’s plenty of hidey holes & caves. I’m just concerned about having crushed aragonite substrate and not sand. Please let me know your...
