BiColor Blenny still not eating

adamfajge · Nov 29, 2008

I have had a Blenny now for a week and he now swims around my tank but only eats off LR and my powerhead. I tried Spirulina Brine w/Garlic. I once left a green algae sheet for 30 minutes in tank but he never ate it. Should I try the red type? Will he survive by just picking micro algae off in the tank.
Thanks,
Adam

does he appear to be getting thin? those may be the eating habits he is used to, or he may be getting enough.

i don't have a bicolor, though, only a lm. but, mine is hit or miss with the nori, as well. sometimes he'll tear it up, and sometimes he looks at me like i'm crazy for trying to feed him that s***

BiColor Blenny

He looks ok he has stripes running down his body sometimes and other times he is the all grey and hal orange.

If you have enough LR he will be fine. In my experience blenny's seem to prefer to find their food on the LR

Blenny and Flame Angel

My new Flame Angel also just picks at the LR all day almost like the mandarin. I will try frozen and some algae sheets with him. The Blenny I guess is ok he refuses the frozen
