Hey, thanks all! Will try nori. To date he is still ok as he is still "muching rocks"...will gradually introduce the nori/brine shrimp to him.

Hi reefers,

My lawnmower blenny is extremely hardworking and have stripped all algae from LR. I tried feeding it with nori but the nori flakes just float around and were ignore by the lawnmower. Any suggestions?

I got Aquapharm Marine veggies and it comes in small strips of 1mm by 3mm so it's not possible to tie it down to a rock.

wow u reviving a 5 year old thread! hmm....the seaweed so small? >.< maybe u could cut a 500ml water bottle in half, and let it sink into the tank and put the vegggie inside so it wont float around? and maybe ur blenny will go in to eat....i cant think of any suggestion for u...tis is all i could think of haha

my lawnmower blenny is also v hardworking but recently it has learnt to eat pellets too. i feed a mixture of new life spectrum and formula 2. it ignores the nori and mysis that i feed the other fishes though.

Thanks for all suggestions.

Hi Markie,

Does your blenny come up to get the pellets or wait until they sink? I use Sera Granumarin but all my other fishes gobbles up all the food before they have a chance to sink to the bottom.

If too much sinks to the bottom, diatom and algae will become a problem.

it grabs it when it is dropping down the tank... same as my clowns, royal gamma and some wrasse. so when i feed i usually switch off the return... and since mine is a barebottom, when it drops down the cleaner shrimps take care of it. yeah.. they eat the pellets too... its that good. hahahaa

most shrimps eat anything...even pellet and flake and even fish poop O.O not suprising that they eat pellets.
