This is tough to make it adapt to a new food source. It is best to bring him to a small confined QT box if possible to feed him the new meal.

Then when acustomed to the new food, you still need to clip it to some where. Bleenie dun chase food in the tank.

Suggested food:

1. Japanese seaweeds, oil free.

2. Spirulina

If there is Tangs in the tank, you will have to make decision to give blennie away. These food tangs will eat up before bleenie has any chance.

Since your tank is low in algae, might want to consider selling it/ give to some reefer with algae problem.

ya or you could nakazoru said keep it inside a container..But mine you, it will be a problem when you have an algae outburst as it will usuall stop feeding on algae or feed less on it..The LFS that i am frequent at as this problem now...Their algae blenny will eat anything including pellets!!

ya some veg food for fishes can be suggested as well

The algae blenny at Henry's showtank feeds and grow fat on his own homemade fish food. You want to get some of this food from him to try out...

Used do owned a blenny a yr back, died as my tank no more algae and it refuses to eat spirulina flakes as well as those sinking one....

How to I accustomed the blenny to the new food?

Once in a QT tank, I feed him seaweeds straight away?

Or does it need some live food first to kick start his eating?

Then , slowly feed seaweeds?

Thanks in advance

IMO, algae blenny will consume pellets also when algae is out of order..

I have 2 algae blenny...1 is eating pellet while another one is chasing baby koi as food when i feeding it into a grouper tank....
