Lawnmower blenny not eating

[johnvu713]

Picker her up two days ago from a LFS. Her tummy is a bit tucked in probably from malnutrition. I've been feeding her bloodworm, algae cube and brine everyday but she didn't seem to care. I do have some green algae on the glass and LR at her disposal and again she didn't nip at them whatsoever.

My experience with them is that they consume large amounts of GHA and may or may not accept other foods. My previous one was a pig and ate just about anything. Also his poop was the shape and size of a lincoln log. :lol2:

lawnmowers unfortunately are hard to feed. starry, bicolor, tailspot, midas are easier.

Not sure why hes not eating. I got a thin film of green algae all over the place for him to enjoy.

often times they are already too far gone in the pet shop. either from starvation, stress, or disease. stay away from skinny fish. only purchase healthy fish that will eat in front of you at the store.

I don't believe they eat film algae I have never seen them eat anything other than gha unless it was on a clip. Don't know if it eats macro algae or not.

I cut up pieces of nori and still no luck

i would just take him back. but you could try live food like brine and black worms

Well at least he's out and about. Not sure if that's a good sign. Will try live brine and hope that'll entice him to eat. Thanks!
