Bleeny help.

I'm looking to get a little Benny to help eat some Algee. Besides a law mover are there any suggestions?

Starry blennys are fun. They have a good personality and change color by their mood. Mines pretty aggressive though, in hindsight I should've added him last. I think the Salarias blennys are more prone to eat algae, but idk if it makes that much diff. If you've got a real problem it's better to fix the source of the algae.

My starry blenny is awesome. He eats algae off the glass and rocks. But honestly my blenny doesn't help "control" algae. Out of 100% he may get to 1% of it. The algae is more of a nice constant food source for him. You know in between flakes, pellets, and mysis. Lol

Yup pretty much exactly what I said. Mine isn't that aggressive. I have a skittish diamond goby and trying to figure out if the blenny is part of the cause. My large female clown tries to intimidate the blenny but the blenny stands up to her and is much faster. That aggression is pretty much done with.

My starry's got little man syndrome. He doesn't pick on any of my fish, but is evil to my snails. :hmm4:

That is so funny. I've never seen my starry act evil to snails. The one tginh our posts all have in common is that they are oozing with personality.

Yeah. Like when you are looking at a coral or something and then you realize that the starry is right there on a rock looking back at you but you didn't even see him, and th fat belly they have, and those stupid eyebrows. They are adorable devils.
