Lawnmower Blenny

[adesimone1]

Ok, We had gotten a lawnmower blenny a while back and we already had one in our tank, The one we had chased the new one around alot. Then our 1st one decided to jump ship we found him behind our 120 when we switched to the 180 the 2nd one started to get very fat then a few days ago I noticed the blenny was back to a normal size. Looking under the tank 2 days ago I noticed in my overflow little guys swimming around. I also saw some swimming under my liverock. My question is: Is this possible that they could of bred? And what do I do with the babies?

Hum... I've never head of them breeding in captivity, but might just do a search on google.

talk to chris n barb (mbunna) ... they have been breeding saddleback clowns and might have some rotifers for the little guys if you're interested in raising them

you could scoop em up with a turkey baster and put them in a little screen basket for fry and hang it in the tank. they would become food for any bigger mouths. then try to raise them. probably have to hatch brine shrimp eggs. artemia cysts. sounds like a great opportunity to experiment and advance the hobby a bit. Hope they make it.

about how long are the fry? that might determine what size food they can eat.
