Does your Lawn Mower Blenny eat hair algae?

Well, does he?

i never saw mine eat a darn thing!

TinaM · Feb 1, 2006

mine eats spiralina (spelling?) pellets and algae tablets. As well as flaked food and what ever he can pick off the rocks. He loves to eat!

Never seen him eat hair algae, wish he would at least nibble on it.

Mine eats the "hair like" filament things on my more leafy algae and the algae off the glass, but not my hair algae.

Also, I've had my LMB for like 5 months and havent fed him any prepared foods, hes been growing nice and plump off my algae in the tank.

I had a Lawnmower Blennie, and he ate all of my Lettuce Nudibranch except for the head.

Not a bit.

He does a great job on the microalgae, doesn't touch the hair algae.

Never even looked at it!

So, it doesn't look like an algae blenny is my best bet. Time for another poll!

Thanks for the responses all,
Alex
