I have had this scooter blenny now for 18 weeks and has done very well, he eats myriss shrimp and has been doing very good, but i added a half moon agnell and a strawberry baslet to the tank about 4 weeks ago. i drop food in one corner of the tank to occupy the other fish whille i use a very long sea squirt to feed my scooter, which has allways worked but now the other fish ingore the food i put in one corner of the tank and head straight for the scooter's food which i allways putt right in fonrt of him. now my scooter is very thin and looks very bad and i think it is because now he is not getting enough food.

so here is what i did, i went out and got one of those breeder contains, hung it inside the tank, placed the scooter bleeny inside and put a very nice portion of shrimp in it. This way the other fish can't get to eatit and he has a chance to get something to eat. i know this is going to cause problems with pollutates in the water but i will deal with that. This is my first fish that i ever had and love the bloke very much. Is there any thing else that i can do or do you think it may be to late to help.

ps. my also loves this fish very much and when i told her tonight that i did not think he was going to make it see started to cry.


thanks once again for any help that you can give
 
Feed him well and hopefully he will come around for you. Keep an eye him for disease as well, his immune system may be down as well and may be more suceptable to disease. Hope he makes it.

just got my live copepods today only to find my scooter this afternoon belly up. man this sucks it was my first fish.

Perry, good deal on the alk issue, i'm thinking about buying one my self. i tested my water that i get from the LFS super high in phosphate even thuo the say its ro/di.
 
Josh,
I got this unit in 1 day, and it was $130 shipped. I tested TDS at 0, Alk at 0... Perfect clean sterile water. The website is www.purelyh2o.com It is an easy install, and best of all the thing got here quick. It also includes a TDS meter. Sorry to hear about the Scooter, I know how much each of your inhabitants mean to you......Perry
