[Fishman]

I ordered some fish .All fish are fine but the lawnmower blenny .I have to really look close for him to find him.When I do he looks to be breathing heavy.Is this a heardy fish? Is he still getting acc.to the tank?Have had him 2 days.I'm concerned about the lawnmower.I did do a water change last night.Any ideas?

Lawnmower Blennys are for sure not a hardy species. If there is no algae in your tank for him to graze on I would invest in some seaweed strips and place them throughout the tank. There are other foods that can work to, like pellets but seaweed strips always have worked.

The small algae problem I have is why I got him

I'm sure he's ok. Blenny's perch on rocks and are hard to spot sometimes as they blend in with the colors sometime.

That's the truth. I can look right at mine and won't actually see him until he moves. Mine loves just about any food I put into the tank.
