    Default Lawnmower Bleeny issue

    The problem is he has lost alot of wieght. I was having problems with algea (cyano and diatoms) so i cut feeding for two days. He was fat and happy and ate like a pig. He has since lost his belly and appears to be getting skinner. I am doing limited feedings twice aday and he eats everything he gets to. It does not seem like he is gettng bigger. I feed Formula 1. The other fish get frozen Mysis (sp?) 2 times a week. He eats the formula but not the frozen. I have tried a seaweed clip but he doesnt touch the stuff.

    There is no algea to speakof left in the tank b/c i scrubed it all out and took the substrate out. Suggestion on how to spot feed just him maybe?

    Hey Rob.
    We have a lawnmower too, but he DIGS nori. He's really quick too - he just darts over to the clip, grabs a mouthfull and jets to his hiding spot in the rockwork. I know he's a tad overwhelmed when all our tangs are munching, as the clip isn't easy to get to when they are munching, but he has his own way to get his share. Have you tried rubberbanding the nori to a rock and sinking it in the tank where he hangs out? If you have tangs, put a piece in for them, and then sink a piece on the rock for your blenny. It would be really hard to spot feed a fish, unless all the other inhabitants in your tank were stuffed to the "gills" (LOL). Give that a try and see what happens. Keep us posted?

    What is the brand of seaweed you use CD? I am using Sally's seaweed salad.

    We just go to the Hong Kong Supermarket on Research Blvd. and get their dried nori (for sushi). It's cheap (I mean REALLY cheap...like a buck or two a packet), and the fish just love it.
