algae blenny diet

[shoelevy]

my algae blenny has been getting skinnier by the day until now it is very very skinny and i guess its because my tank is absolutely clean and free from nuisance algae

i don't wish for it to starve to death so what kind of food can i feed it?

will seaweed for tangs be ok?

... i guess its because my tank is absolutely clean and free from nuisance algae

even when there is no nuisance algae, there will always be flimlimas alage for the blenny to survial on....if not how can those big fat tangs survive in nature where the level of nutrient are very very low....

anyway, best get the ulva from bro mUAr_cHEe to see if the blenny eats them....it could be other factors (maybe stress) that is causing your blenny not to feed....

don't know WHICH joker give the name alage blenny SO misleading

this fish will be more interested in your brine shrimp than alage

and it's powerful tail will cause your coral to close up when it swim pass

[tineng]

har???i though thats the name used in liveaquaria???? although i tend to know it by lawnmower.....

agreed that it seems more interested in brineshrimp then algae and i find my hermit crabs and snails does a better job, but the information from liveaquaria and some other sites i read before seems to indicate otherwise......

[Archilles19]

I don have an algea blenny but.....why not try those sinking algea pellets that the fresh-water hobbiest feed their placo......at least no other fish may not eat those types of food....

2 cents....

Mine oso not feeding after he ate up all e brown algae,he is damn skinny now.Even henry's food mix doesnt interest him.

If u guys find any solution pls let me noe.tks..

[shoelevy]

looks like algae blenny is not as easy as the websites put it

[Reefbum]

I don't purposely feed my algae blenny.Don't think any tank is super clean that there is no algae at all.IMO, your blenny is either stressed by other fishes or have a disease.

[chewlaoheng]

actually is your luck. Is either the one you get decides to eat till up the lorry with big tummy like mine or it doesn't eat at all and die of hunger....

errr... could it be depression...
