Lawnmower blenny

[Randall_James]

I have no idea about the blennie but the snails will go bonkers over seaweed selects (nori) If I hang it out, my snails mob the clip so I had to suspend it from a cross bar. Sort of like squirrels and the bird feeder thing

May have to try that.

I dont know how skittish your lawnmower blenny is. When I had mine he would let me feed him by hand. I found this out when he looked under the weather. I just ripped a piece of dried seaweed in my had and held it in front of his mouth. After a few seconds he nipped at it. Then ate it. I fed him like this for a week then he was back to his normal self---- for a few months.

First be sure he is actually a lawnmower lol. I thought thats what I bought, but he's actually a combtooth blenny. He didnt eat for a day or so, but now he's a pig.

Mine died last night. I noticed that its mouth was always opened the day before, and last night I found it lying on the sand with its mouth wide opened. Don't know why? The other fishes are fine.

Sorry for your loss. Maybe it was sick when you bought it. Sometimes you just never know the reason why.

I read on liveaquaria that lawn mower blennies will be aggressive towards fish that look that same as they do, I have a diamond goby, just wondering if they would have...issues, anyone have any experienec with that?
