Tailspot blenny food..

[Stryk9]

I've had my tailspot blenny for 6 months or so and can't get him to eat anything I feed.. He will pick at the rocks and glass all day and I guess he is getting what he needs but I feel like he should be eating something more.. Food for thought??

My tailspot blenny doesn't eat Mich either! He loves all kinds of shredded up nori, he eats up love brine like no other, and sometimes if I feed some shredded up meaty food he'lil snag some

Mine will eat brine like crazy and sometimes smal pieces of mysis.

I put in some brine mixed with spirulina and he picked at it a little.. Im not sure if he was going for the brine or the spirulina. It's kinda old so I might pick more up. I've been using rods food to feed my tank and everyone loves it but him. I tried shredding some nori sheets to no avail. What do you think about this?

I would get the mixed veggies so its already in flakes..

Maybe I got a vegetarian?

Mine loved the small NLS pellets. You might also try some Sera stick on spirulina tabs if you can find them.

Having said all that, as long as he's not getting thin 6 months in, I wouldn't worry about it too much.

The only thing that it would eat for me for months was frozen foods, mainly mysis and enhanced brine, but it will also eat formula two frozen. It will now eat spectrum marine pellets that I feed everyone else along with formula two pellets.

Just an update.. Started soaking food in garlic and he seems to be eating a little more and def more interested in the food.
