Quarantine Blenny

[jar41]

Hi Can you help me quarantine a blenny? It's a Fuscus one. What food would you feed him? Right now i have Seaweed,Algea waffles,LRS Nano,Brine and Mysis. Should i mix all and which one he likes? Last 2 fish didn't want to touch any of it... Maybe small rock? Thx

Maybe i should add that i previously quarantined fish with success(besides Blenny)! Somehow no idea why i have no luck with Blennys....

Maybe it'll take to spirulina. Did you get it from a LFS? What was he eating there?

I have a fuscus (sailfin blenny) & mine would take algae strips from a clip & I also added a small rock with algae from the DT. Just make sure the rock does not go back to DT. Other herbivores in QT have taken to frozen herbivore blends, but the blenny did not eat well in QT. He would sometimes go for spirulina enriched brine shrimp. Once added to DT, he would spend all day grazing & never took prepared foods again for months. He lost most of the golden color & is now a purple/black color. He is now 2 inches of pitbull -- he loves to chase my hawkfish that is twice his size. Hilarious fish.
