Fat starry blenny

[jscarlata]

I have a starry blenny in my 46 and he is such a pig! This fish never stops eating, I'm a little worried his stomach gets huge. Is his normal? I will try ringer a pix tonight. He eats algae all day and then scarfs down whatever he can get during feedings, I mean this guy eats nonstop!

I have one who does the same exact thing. He gets a really fat belly too and so far so good. I wouldn't worry about it,they just seem to be gluttonous fish!

Yeah, my Starry has a big belly too and has always had one. I think it's normal for them.

Ok thanks for the replies, a great fish it's if fun to watch ESP when he changes color, but holy cow, what a pig!

Mine does the same thing I was worried it was bad for it

I think it's fine. I'd be more worried if his stomach was concave in and looked skinny.

Funny video actually I laughed at the captions.
Lawnmower blenny with that fat stomach.

I think its normal! I was diving in Bermuda today and saw lots of fat Blennys in the rocks. M Golden sailfin is pretty fat too!!

There's one at my local fish shop that makes the one on that youtube vid look super model thin. Its a proper porker.
