Fat Lawnmower Blenny

[Bug_Power]

I'm afraid my lawnmower is going to explode! I bought a smaller one so we could watch him grow in my 180. I've been fighting a brown algea bloom in the sand, and he's been doing his part trying to keep everything clean. Well I swear this gals either pregnant (it's only like 1.5" long) or he's FAT. Or could this be a problem? Just today I noticed how big his stomach had gotten. It's probably 2x as round as he is. Do I just own the Ted Bundy of the Blennies or is this guy in need of a gastro bypass?

they do that. mine had a beer belly for months but now that the algae is not as plentiful he has trimmed down.

I've been considering a lawnmower. I have a 75 with a wonderful hair algae garden <_< . However, after the tank is **** n span, will he starve, or can I feed some flake/frozen/nori to him?

Sorry...don't mean to take over your thread! :o Maybe there is a fish treadmill somewhere! :roll

Mine will eat just about anything I put in the tank including frozen and flake.

I just read about some 2-3 foot blennies that live in the arctic and they are supposedly very good eatin' . Tell yours to chill or he may have the same fate and he'll probably slim down or let it be and think about a BBQ or just grilled in garlic and butter........... LOL
